So with this setup the factory overboost controller is deleted? I have a boost gauge T'd into the line going to the ALDA right now, how would you suggest plumbing that to the manifold spot you mentioned with an ALDA delete?
Hello and thanks in advance, I have a 85 w123 D. and my Alda has a extra vacuum line out of the banjo fitting.. do anyone have an idea what to do with that Vacuum line ? does my Alda send pressure that way ? if so can I redirect ? idk im lost and can't find anything on this topic or style of Alda
Thanks for the demonstration. Your video shows the wrench size, where to position the wrenches and which direction to turn them. Own a 1979 300sd (w116). Want to give my car a small boost but not compromise mpg. I was contemplating on either backing up the ALDA screw or removing the ALDA altogether. Looking forward to more videos. By the way, are you open to the public? Where are you located?
In your video you mention the intake manifold booster line being plugged up with a m8x1.0 fitting, however, your amazon link goes to a m8x1.25 fitting. Which is the correct sized fitting?
What’s the model number for the Donaldson fuel filter your using? Also any advantages to it? I love Donaldson on my other heavy equipment and would like to use on my OM
@@davidly5793 absolutely not. The ALDA delete is the only modification you should make to your pump besides advancing the timing. If that doesn't satisfy you, send it out to be built by #benzforce. The info you see floating around about getting 15hp by adjusting the pump is all lies and will only render your pump broken and undriveable.
I am going through that problem right now. But... it helped me realize that my turbo is bad. I am setting up a replacement turbo. Lets see if it runs better and doesn't smoke too much. I can always install the ALDA back.
just replaced my TURBO, now my really works. The ALDA Delete does not make my car smoke (or very lightly). I want to install a boost gauge to measure my TURBO boost using the M 8 x 1.0.
Lower EGT's, more complete combustion of the fuel = more power, easier starts. But it increases knocking and raises cylinder pressures, so you can't go past 26 BTDC with a stock pump or 24 with a built pump. I have a video coming out very soon on all of this.
@@superjesus4307 The criteria would be longevity plus some beneficial power increase. (Note racing) Would you still stand behind that amount of advance?
