Mine smokes until the turbo spools up, leaving a slightly embarrassing black cloud for the car behind me to drive through at stoplights. The problem is I had problems with the ALDA and had to remove it, so there's no off-boost fuel limiting. (I have a replacement but it needs to be shimmed, and I've been too busy fixing other stuff.) The over-fueling on light acceleration also tends to cause carbon to accumulate in the engine, so if I drive it slowly for a while and then floor it to get on the freeway, it smokes like a Peterbilt for a bit. "Rolling coal" as the rednecks like to say.
Practically no smoke at idle, though, even cold. When I accelerate from a stop with the engine cold, though, I do get a bit of misfiring and some blue smoke, which goes away when it starts to warm up. Haven't quite figured out why...I'm thinking maybe it's related to not having an ALDA, since that seems to affect the idle.
I don't like smoke...to me it represents fuel I paid for going to waste.
