Well I finally got the chance to do a little work on the car. First I checked out the bowden, it appeared to be attached to something in the transmission and also appeared to be properly adjusted. Next I looked over the wastegate and everything seemed to be in order there. I have no idea what injectors are installed so I was at a loss on that front. Testing so far had provided little improvement. Finally today I removed the ALDA and opened it up one and a sixteenth turns. It was still sealed prior to my adjustment. This made a significant difference. It actually accelerates now when you step on the pedal, and will stay in a lower gear much longer. I have only driven it a small amount. Testing has to be done in the dark of night due to lack of proper documentation...

. I suspect I'm getting some smoke now which I did not before. I will verify in the daylight tomorrow. So far a successful modification, and I know the other items are in order too. Thank you gentlemen for the direction. I, and my son, thank you. Don't sit back yet though! Tomorrow we're doing pads and rotors on the front! Should be straightforward but with most of my projects it never is!
