Boost leak is the first thing I would be checking. Have you cleaned out your EGR?

Is it mapped also and have cat removed

Does the Cat effect the amount of smoke output?

No the car not maped or decated its all standard

Didnt clean the egr valve yet will be doing it during the week
And will also have to check the vacum lines etc for boost leak

Cleaned the egr valve think its sorted now
