Not a good decision. The ALDA plays an important role in fuel regulation and it shouldn't be removed.

False. The ALDA is there only to limit the rack off-boost to prevent leaving a black cloud if you stomp on it off the line. You can mitigate that with your right foot.
The alda doesn't add fuel as some people think.

Tried THAT mistake on Mutt the Race Truck. It really doesn't work. An oversimplification but basically the ALDA adds fuel when under boost so removing it takes away fuel under boost. Taking fuel away from a Diesel is NOT the way to make more HP. Fix the ALDA and work with it's range of adjustment to get a good seat of the pants feel - unless you have access to a dyno so you can adjust for max HP (preferred).
When I removed mine I didn't properly understand the ALDA's function so I followed the on-line "wisdom" which in this case proved to be wrong.

Interesting, you are the first person I have come across that has had a negative affect from removing it... I honestly can't see how thats possible...
