Hilux surf Ln 130

Hi guys

I've got a brain teaser for you witch I cannot find the info for on the net.

I have a Toyota hilux surf LN130 2.4TD. As we all know these tend to smoke

a bit under load like pulling away over taking and so on.Well two nights ago I did some

thing I have asked around about in work shops, what would happen if I removed the

main butter fly from the throtle body, would it mess with my boost control? Well all I got

was shrugged sholders.So I removed it and yes the smoke is a lot less pulls alot better at low rpm

and a bit more throtle sensitive.The down fall is that when I switch off the motor it's stops ruff, when you drive for a half a hour or more on the motor way that responce goes away to standard and motor more noisey.

Now my question, is it bad to run it like this?

Do I have to get an inter cooler for long distance driving?

Wow! Time goes bye. I,m still driving the Smurf. I have left the buter fly out and have not had black smoke for a year so far! Lets hope it stays that way.

Since my last posting I have done some work to it. I started it up at work one morning and found it leaking diesel

onto the floor. A big mess, it was some o'rings on the pump that needed replacing. The o'rings whent hard of age and heat. I removed the pump and replaced the o'rings where possible.

After that the turbo oil seals started leaking on the intake side. I'm still yet to fix this as it only smokes after

idling for more than 10 min. as soon as you drive the smoke goes away.

Now as of this year the car has gone 19000Km south to Cape Town. As I moved back home. Here I'm back in my

work shop and things will start to take shape. will post some pic's.
