Hiya
Had the turbo checked. A1!!
Still smoking when turbo kicks in?? Not so much since i decoked it with Forte.
What do you reckon about this.
When i oil changed it last july i put an a1 oil in it, since then been topping it with with tesco's special as i need to replace it again in september!!.
Do you think that this mix has anything to do with it?

Chris. Could a fuel pump over fuelling be creating excess black smoke? |
