You should see a significant puff of smoke if you floor it and engage the kickdown switch when driving.
If you aren't, then if you haven't done so already, you need to check the line that runs from the banjo bolt at the rear of the exhaust manifold, across the firewall and terminates at the ALDA, to ensure it isn't broken/torn. If the line is intact, then remove the banjo bolt and clean it... if it is clogged, or the line is compromised, the ALDA is never hearing about the need for more fuel.
Gently gently when reinstalling the banjo bolt it is very easy to strip the threads.
You could also experiment with unplugging the overboost protection switch. Frankly I don't think it does much to begin with.
