Is it a GT TDI 170, if it is the timing can be adjusted slightly but i think its a job for VW or Indie.

I'm starting to feel left out as the three GT TDI 170's i have had to date none have had issues after the injector recall. I remember there being a number of threads on Briskoda about advancing the timing but don't believe that resolved the issue.
