This morning my 300D Turbo was extremely sluggish off the line, then after the turbo boosted it would take off pretty fast.

I thought hmm, i had adjusted the ALDA IN 1 turn a week ago to reduce the smoke a bit. So i stopped at the gas station and backed the screw out completely(where it was a week ago) and it was just as slow, or maybe slower than before.

I couldn't find a problem with the hoses being broken or clogged so i put on a ALDA that i got at the junkyard and everything was normal again. Hell it fells faster now then it ever has. 0-60 in 12 seconds

So yes, ALDA's can go bad, it seems rare though. Just thought i would post this in case someone else ran into a similar issue.
