ok I think I'm experiencing some of the symptoms of an "old turbo"

Since Ive never driven another turbo , though, I can't really compare, but sometimes I feel as my turbo is barely doing anything.

I want to clean that scren in the ALDA. I found a pictorial on dieselgiant.com , but I can't seem to really follow it. I can't find the ALDA cap. Does anyone have pictures they could show on where exactly to find this ALDA and its screw on a 350SDL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler.

It's really not the ALDA aneroid screw that you need to adjust, but rather cleaning of the pressure line and its banjo bolt from the intake manifold to the switchover valve. The ALDA aneroid itself should be on the diesel injection pump.

Look closely at the intake manifold and try to identify the overboost sensor and the pressure line.
