Oh I see , I don't see why this would have a problem as the fuel is coming up to the injectors with no problem .
Because it smokes A LOT ! I feel bad with people passing.
I tired to give a little run earlier just going forward 100m and come back , it was hilarious

Well drive it around a bit more, good run down the motorway, see if it clears. Check the oil and water after a short run, then carry on. Smoke is proably just oil in the engine from the rebuild.
And as above, try posting a more accurate location, maybe someone will come and look at it for you.

I hope it is sorted by then too. But if it isn't, I will be up on August the 6th, and in town for about a week.
If you pm me contact details, I will come and have a look at it then. I wont have my tools and kit with me, but can probably provide and accurate diagnosis, and an opinion on the general condition of the the vehicle.

sorry I meant push as like "press the pedal" yes I have enough to make a round around the neighbourhood but that's pretty much it, I actually didn't even try because I would have to go trough a steep hill and a bit scared to risk it

As Dippy says, boost hose or a failed turbo, blocked air hose, quite a few things could cause that. I would be 99.9% sure that isn't an injector pump failure though.
