It's a fairly common problem for the IP to provide less fuel as the components wear
That means its time for a pump rebuild or to get it re-tuned on a flow bench.

Please post the CORRECT information, I have removed my ALDA. This was only AFTER I got the engine into proper spec AND installed a turbo that provides substantially more air at lower RPMs than the stock turbo.

Why must everyone be so confrontational today? (Not just on this forum) People ask what to do and I tell them the correct way to do it. Their response? "NO! I wanna do it the lazy/quick/easy/shortcut/cheap/shade-tree/ricer way just because you said not to, so there! "

There really ARE important things that need to be checked/adjusted before touching the ALDA.

Valve adjustment
Linkage adjustment/travel
Linkage bushings
Banjo bolt
Wastegate hose condition
Overboost protection system
Boost pressure
Injector spray pattern/pop pressure
Vacuum system operation
etc.

Adjusting the ALDA before that can mask any or all of those common problems. Once all those areas have been covered is when the ALDA should be adjusted.
