Default 3 Door Cosworth Resto MSD mapped to 513 BHP

Took delivery today of my new Project

The plan is to get it on the road asap and then in the autumn to do a restoration underneath and engine bay and maybe convert to 4X4.

Looks a really nice car - the wheels are my all time favourite but mostly mags

If you put them up for sale take a picture of the rears as alloy and mags have differences

Help needed please
I have driven it today and I am really disappointed
Boosts at 17psi (1.2 bar) but really late almost 5k, so sluggish bottom end and mid range.
It has a BD14 inlet cam and the exhaust cam is unmaked at the end, not sure what turbo itis but have a 48 rear housing and the front housing is marked up M27??
If it helps the inlet Id is 63mm pic below. I would like much more bottom end, any advice?
