Smoke question :(

car drove totally fine last night, today i started it, it wouldnt boost properly 50% of the time, but when it does boost it holds it fine,

i had a decat put on the car about 2 hours ago and there is LOTS of smoke out the back when i let off boost,

im praying its not turbo as my car has only done 38K

could it be an electrical problem such as a boost pressure sensor??

any help would be GREATLY appreciated

it just seems like if it was the turbo it would hold the boost then it actually boosts

had same with mine didnt smoke all the time though just on pull away went like this after i had my turbo gasket fixed found out the problem was a boost hose loose and therefor maf not regestring right car boosted fine but better if you held revs a bit before booting it

i just hope to god that its not the turbo, i was told by a specialist that it wouldnt be,
but the smoke is a bit extreme :/
