Tuga,
It's my opinion that the full load operation for an extended period of time did the trick. Did you see the after picture? I could not even tell it was running from looking at the exhaust. I was one happy camper. And to be clear, at that point in time I had not reinstalled the air cleaner and hose to the turbo. There was a long period of operation ( 1.5 hours ) with smoke and soot and then it cleared with no other changes being made during the run. I will report back if there is a recurrence on the next run.
