Thanks for the replies... The problem is, the compression might be lower, if you say thats a telltale sign, and the transmission in the loner might suck (I noticed that), but the loner's performance feels much stronger than mine. Ill be creating another post about that...
The other thing I noted though was that I believe the idle was perhaps a little faster than mine (the tach was broken so I dont know for sure), and I sure had to hold the brake harder to keep it from rolling at idle. So it seemed more powerful from off-idle until whenever (EGR valve looked brand new, maybe mine is stuck open?).

Thanks,

P.S. Both cars have identical mileage (215k vs 225k), both start easily at freezing temps with just the glow plugs, etc. I have to wonder if maybe my injection could be screwed up somehow? I have 3.5 degrees chain stretch according to the marks on the harmonic balancer.
