Check your boost -- if you aren't getting much boost, it won't matter what the ALDA is set to, it still won't give you any more power since it isn't doing anything.

0-60 in 15 sec is a bit slow, should be about 12, I think.

Also check to make sure it holds pressure....

If you adjust the output of the turbo, don't go over 13 psi. Factory spec is 10-12, usually 10.5 or 11, and may be lower than that by now, the spring in the boost controller goes soft with age.
