300D 617.951 ALDA removed, line is capped (lines/fittings were not plugged).

the car is running better.

0-60 in about 18 seconds (is that normal?)

if i drive normal (do not floor the pedal often when driving) will i still have increased EGT's?

with ALDA removed, will I have poor fuel economy?

I sure appreciate this.

Guy

Fuel economy drops 1mpg.

18 secs? Jesus that seems slow.

Have you put a boost gauge on to see if your actually building boost? They should build 9.5-12.5 psi stock.

If none of the lines have been plugged you're not getting any boost since the pressure line from the banjo bolt on the intake manifold will be venting to atmosphere.
