New water pump orientation?

My 04 24v 6sp is rolling massive amounts of smoke. Its smoking bad enough to turn the automatic headlights on vehicles behind me in traffic if I hit it at lower rpm in 3+ gear. Bought the truck used earlier this year has had the smoke issue all along. Since buying I added K&N intake and banks monster ram manifold. The truck came with 5" straight exhaust, BD turbocharger, aftermarket fuel system, and smarty tuner. I am wondering if the heavy smoke could just be due to oversized injectors installed by previous owner or if maybe boost leak or possibly bad injectors?! I realize it could possibly be any of these but looking for advice before getting new injectors for no reason I don't like that amount of smoke but if its just from over sized "but properly functioning" injectors I can live with it. The extra air from the intake&manifold has helped a lot with the coal in general smoke is thinner but still smokes like a train if you get on it from low rpm and still lightly smokes at any rpm above idle. Thank you for any suggestions
 
Smoke is unburned fuel. Never acceptable.
(Not enough air compared to fuel).

Return it to dead stock and quit abusing it (you want it last and perform well). Every component. Every type.

The direction you’re heading permanently screws up a great-design truck. Doesn’t matter last owner or two turned it that way, you can change it.

Any guess how many thousands have been ruined this way? Don’t listen to idiots. They ruin one and move onto the next victim.

The early CR are the best that’ll ever be built.

Had it all: Power, Economy and Long Life.

And, I’m not kidding.

At almost a quarter-mil I’ve replaced the tires once, spent $500 in repairs in fourteen years and average above 19-mpg for all miles. The rest is original.

Turn it that direction, or,

Getch you a ricer with a fart can as you’ll be happier
