UPDATESUPDATESUPDATESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:
Got round to finally gov modding + LDA grinding.
Shimmed the gov. The car now revs freely to 5,500 (as far as i dare take it) on boost. Removes the "restricted" feel the car had.

I don't know anyone with a lathe to perfectly grind the LDA to the measurements i wanted. So i had to crack the dremel and have a go. It's not the best, but it's got to be better than it was. There's a slight ridge, but i wanted the smoothest finish possible.

Also, since the picture was taken i've again modified the LDA more as looking at the pin scratch on the pin itself, you could see that the very top it was almost coming back on itself so i've had to take more out and again smoothen the finish.
Since i've done this the car drives completely different. It's got a very nice, revvy powerband. For some reason the clutch doesn't seem to be slipping at the moment? As it was when i had it running the Lucas at 20 psi. This is running 20-22 psi but i want to aim for around 28 psi. I thought it was almost impossible for a clutch to re-bed after it's slipped?
Only other ways i can see to increase boost is to increase the max fuelling, but lower the idle setting by using the idle screw on the back of the pump. Nice way to make an XUD nippy!
Updates to follow.
