No, to be fair that turbo was pretty well suited to an XUD - you've just got to allow for the fact that midrange it will spike like a bitch and make it feel epic, if you dial it down midrange and allow it to continue making the power up high, it's lovely to drive!
As said before I could have made it 190-200hp, but it just means you get a CHRONIC midrange spike which used to wreck the clutch and make it feel like it died a death up high...
To be honest the gearing was about perfect on a DT box, I wouldn't want it any longer for certain.... I'd only change the gaps between 2nd and 3rd... And maybe lengthen 5th... I've never felt the need to have overall longer gearing - on the roads I drive, I'd prefer to have a bit more flexibility with more gears at lower speeds.
