Fuelling is not the problem, although we're only good for up to 4500rpm.
The main problem we have is the standard turbo (GT1549) is only good for 150-160bhp and that's really pushing it, there are no direct bolt on turbos and nothing that's easy to fit without custom adapter plates and downpipe and since the L series has such a small following there isn't anyone making parts and selling them like there is on here.
I've been doing a bit more reading and it seems that a few of you rate the GT2052 and GT2056 quite highly, so they might be more the sort of thing I should be looking at, I still like the TD04 since it's such a robust turbo.
Also you mention the L series not being comparable to the XUD, even though it's direct injection I think the power figures would be very similar if you had similar mods i.e. TD04, FMIC, straight through exhaust, and adequate fuelling, they would probably put out around the same power.
I'm not 100% sure what you'd consider a "stage one" XUD but a "stage one" L series is around 125-135bhp depending on the model.
