I have deleted my previous post at the request of a couple of members.

Thank you rick for your reply.

"Well, I was really hoping you'd either delete this thread or let it die. But since you refuse to do so, here goes.

Good high end power rules out clogged fuel filters. Chriping the tires on the 1-2 shift means you're getting extra fuel along with boost, so we can rule out plugged banjo bolt or pressure line to the ALDA.

What you want is more fuel between idle and the point where boost comes on, and that's what the ALDA mod does. Of course, as gsxr has pointed out numerous times, the correct solution is to have the pump calibrated at a diesel injection shop, or else shim the ALDA from underneath. But the cheap and easy route that most people end up taking is to simply loosen the lock nut and turn the center shaft counterclockwise a bit.

The only other thing I can think of before messing with the ALDA is to make sure the linkage is adjusted properly so that the final pivot arm reaches within 1mm of the stop.

(Edit) Since you removed the vacuum supply to the EGR (I assume for off-road testing purposes), you'll want to make sure the EGR valve is indeed closed. It could be stuck in the open position, which would be a bad thing."

Q: How do I check my EGR being open?
