Default 940 acceleration

I have an odd issue with my 97 940 turbo, completely standard apart from an mbc set to 8psi.

Sometimes I put my foot down and it goes like poop of a shovel, other times my mate in his 95hp 360 can easily keep up and even goes faster occasionally. No warning lights on the dash and I have had it on the smoke machine at work to look for vacuum leaks but there aren't any.

Usually if I build up the speed slowly and don't use full throttle it seems to accelerate quicker too!

Any suggestions?
