Apart from turbo or supercharging, what would be the best modifications to minimise it or would it be a combination of exhaust, intake and ECU tuning across the board?

On the positive side it gives it character. Even at less than 1/2 throttle it lights up at 5,000rpm giving great performance while literally sipping fuel.

The only way I can think to get more air in there is by blowing it in. A free flowing panel filter will maximise the air at those rpm's.
