It should not be too expensive and at least removing the pump is relatively easy with the engine still out of the vehicle.
Thank you for the answers @v8volvo and @ngoma. So you reckon it's not even worth trying to adjust the smoke screw and idle screw myself? As in, those cannot explain that the engine is running like it does?

Also, I assume the Turbo being disconnected should also not make a difference with regards to black smoke when revving?

Now looking for Bosch diesel services around me, I'm just wondering if there's nothing I can try myself before taking it all down.
