If you don't put your foot to the floor on a regular basis, you and your combustion chambers will never notice an inoperative wastegate actuator. If you regularly put your foot to the floor, sell the '93 and buy my butt ugly '87 that goes like stink... with the untouched ALDA in place.

Is it correct that as long as my pressure wastegate is functioning correct, and I am not getting more than 14 psi boost that with or without an ALDA it should be a protected system. Meaning, it ain't gonna get enough air to kill the motor and my only real risk is no ALDA and no turbo wastegate control??? That's been my assumption in thinking to leave the ALDA lay in my toolbox in the trunk.
