RE: Can I remove the turbo from my Volvo?

Garry,

You have some good reasons already to leave the engine as is.* As David said, over propping will cause a smoke condition.* All things on the engine are designed to work as built.* If the turbo is removed, the injecters will have to be down sized.* The current injecters are designed to work with a certain fuel/air ratio.* Without the extra air suppied by the turbo there would be incomplete combustion to a greater extent---not less.* I would leave it as is.
