Of course, I am running my ALDA all the way out CCW. There are a total of 8 turns available on the ALDA from full CW to full CCW. Most IP's will have the ALDA set at 3 turns in from full CCW in factory calibration.
Last night, as an experiment, I adjusted my ALDA CW until the black smoke under acceleration was no longer visible. This worked out to a setting of 5 turns in (CW) and although my idle speed dropped and off-boost power was negatively affected (as expected) I am curious to see where this places my fuel economy.
I will observe and report...
