If on the other hand vacuum is "somehow" applied to the ALDA... then wouldn't that just be the same as having the boost line to the ALDA disconnected?
why then do i have better performance?

how can an IP be misadjusted? aside from the usual calibration, what else can be manipulated/altered?
Om my SDL, there was one line going to the ALDA, but it had a "T" with one line going to the over boost switch and the other line going to the temperature switch and then to vacuum.

The best thing to do with an ALDA is take it off
I plugged the holes. I also removed all the hoses going from the vacuum pump across the front of the engine to the EGR and ALR systems. That made a big difference as well...
