Since I replaced the turbo s/o valve, my wife told me she noticed a huge increase in the smoke out out when I accelerate. The banjo bolt and lines are clean, the ALDA still has it's plastic cap on. I have noticed a great inprovement in accelration. She said is smells like normal diesel, not oil.I have not noticed a decrease in fuel milage. Still gets 24 to 28 mpg. She said the smoke is more black and gray, like an 18 wheeler, or a Ford Powersmoke when it's nailed.

I have tried a few Italian tune ups.

I'm thinking it's normal now that the ALDA is getting good pressure.

What do you think?
