If the boost wasn't kicking in, then your ALDA was limiting fuel. By limiting fuel, no matter how hard you mashed that pedal your injection pump was being limited.

If you had an operational turbo and the fuel to match (POWAA!), would you take it easy on the pedal, limiting yourself to a 20second 0-60?

On my 300D (different engine, I know, I know) I had it setup to relax the turbo on the highway at the flip of a switch. When cruising I ran 8psi, when flooring it I ran 18psi.

A little extra boost can help your efficiency even if you're not completely matching the fuel quantity. You will have to monitor your intake pressure vs exhaust pressure to find the sweet spot.
