IP Timing will have a big affect on the starting and stone-cold smoke levels, so worth confirming its correct--Bit of a fiddle, but costs little to do...

You have new injectors so we should be able to rule those out.

Starting when hot, after say 10 mins standing, How's the smoke then? Any blue/whitish puffs?
--If left to idle for a few mins, then revved, Any smoke?-Colour? If so, Tends to indicate valve-guides and seals....
At idle on start up when cold the car doesn't smoke much, but give it some gas and it smokes really really bad, the smoke is whiteish and will do so until the engine is warm. When the engine is hot there is hardly any smoke and its black.
