There are a couple DIY versions on YouTube, and several that you can plug jets or make smaller jets.
Best thing to make a small compressor act like a big one is to get a bigger tank. Buy or scrounge a broken compressor with a good tank and plumb the tank in for more surge capacity. It makes a HUGE difference. And the biggest and shortest hoses you can. We usually put the compressor as close to the outlet as we can, then run big hose to the surge tank, which is as close to where we are working as we can, and then a short lighter hose to the tool. The compressor runs better on no extension cord, it is quieter at the jobsite, and the tools get all the air they need. The air is cooler and dryer by the time it gets to the tool, so things liked nail guns and impact wrenches are happier as well
