Default defender td5 power upgrade

I'm running a 2001 td5 110 double cab as an every day motor and a cossy for a toy, i've been looking to upgrade the power on the landy for a bit, now thanks to a friend of mine its all remapped running about 20 psi and going like stink!
So if you see a dirty big landrover coming up up behind you watch out!
If there's anyone that wants a remap in the north wales area i can pass on his number.

Don't diesels run big boost as standard anyway because 20 psi don't sound like much for a diesel even remapped.

About 15 psi standard, think its around 20 maybe a bit more, doesn't feel like a tractor any more

Defender's don't run massive boost as standard. They're also not brilliant on Diesel, so all you've done is made it worse.

Done a few mods, so from getting 24mpg i'm up to 28mpg, its got more power so you dont have to trash it all the time to get to 60.
when i start taking it easy again i'm hoping for 30 mpg, not bad for 2.2ton and the aerodynamics of a brick.
