When I removed mine I didn't properly understand the ALDA's function so I followed the on-line "wisdom" which in this case proved to be wrong.

This is incorrect.
The ALDA reduces fuel prior to boost. Removing it provides maximum fuel at all boost levels without reduction.
that's why it smokes if you floor it with the ALDA removed. Wastes fuel and if the wastegate seizes melts your engine...
