Where do people usually find their throttle arms land when correct? This pump lined up with the line that points towards the passenger strut tower. It is a turbo pump.

I had a different pump that lined up with with the center line. That was an NA pump. With the later style springs.

Don't know if its odd but every single running motor I have got and loose injection pumps the shaft was lined up like this \
Inline with last mark pointing up to the left.

I have also had this symptom when trying to bring an unknown injection pump back to life that had the wrong fuel screw in it.  It was frustrating as hell to get to the baseline but atleast after that I was able to slowly tune things back to the car I was used to.  Lol I remember going on my first drive after I thought I had the car working good using the dash tach.  I could barely make it down the street.

So post-gov mod, back the idle and fuel screw off, put the throttle lever forward a notch, then re-set idle/smoke?

Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.

But how did that fix the black smoke at WOT and the constant haze at other times?

I think I worded that wrong.
Once I am in boost it doesn't really smoke. If I start getting in it out of boost that is when it smokes a bit. I have yet to mess with the idle and fuel screw since fixing the throttle placement.

The theory is the LDA is there to prevent over-fueling before boost comes on.
I haven't messed with it but one can probably tune that out to a degree.

I have mine tuned to smoke always.. :P LOL. The 1.6TD's K24/T3 is such a slug to spool, that the extra wasted heat out the exhaust does its job to spool the turbo a little quicker.

The smoke clears to a fair haze once boost really picks up at like 2400.. However the BOV in the intake kicks open at like 11psi.. so it doesnt really spool hard.
