What a difference. I really liked the car before but now it is great. Wasn't too hard either. I just followed the instructions in this thread http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=160793 You just have to remember where the vacuum lines go. The car was a dog from zero to 20 but great after that. After removing the ALDA I don't have to give it 3/4 thottle to get up to speed. It accelerates nicely from zero with little throttle. The shifts are smoother also. I guess because I don't give it so much throttle demand. If I step on it it produces some smoke, but I can live with that. I realize I now have no overboost protection but I don't drive it hard anyway. I guess I can now sell the ALDA on Ebay!

I live about 5 mi. from Franklin. Franklin is about 40 mi. SW of Norfolk in SE Virginia. I actually don't live there yet, I'm buying there. Currently I live in Norfolk.
