For the DTI you need a good service with all filters and make sure the brakes are not binding.

Only something like a remap but for what you would gain you will pay for in the cost IMO
Cleaning the intake and EGR valves would be a good start though if your handy with spanners, this goes for most engines.

Road tyres rather than all terrains will also help
