What is the DB2-???? part number. It may be he has a IP set up for a turbo which puts out too much for a N/A engine. You may want to do the reverse of tuning it up and turn it down a flat on the piston travel screw located under the triangle plate on the pass side of the IP. Did he replace the injectors at the same time as the pump. If they are original they likely stay open too long due to wear, that and a new IP could mean too much fuel!

Have you tried a different air filter?

I have had a few that just had to much restriction.
Engine smoked more than normal untill they were changed.

Does the engine rattle when it is cold, then get quieter when it warms up?

Timing to advanced will also cause black smoke.
