Whenever I'm on hard accelleration I can see the smoke out my rear view mirror. Can't be normal.
Sounds more like the typical pig rich MPS air / fuel ratios to me, at 9:1 there is a lot of fuel getting burnt, and consequently a lot of smoke under hard acceleration, also remember that under full boost your engine is pumping twice as much air / fuel through it as a NA motor would.
If it were your seals you have more of a tendency to get very pungent white smoke at idle, which clears fairly quickly once moving.
Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man's character - give him power.
