Try setting 6 with the MAF compensation switched on. This should give you little fuel increase fuel, but give the DCU a better MAF signal. This might trick the DCU into implementing its smoke limitation strategy

did you use a new copper washer on the injector, and yes those little studs are very expensive for what they are .

Yes, it connects to the turbo ...
best seen from under the vehicle, drivers side, also, when was the crankcase filter last changed ?
Failing those, it may be the boost solenoid ...

It may be just co-incidence or the failure just popped an already weak part ...

i put a new spin up version of the c case filter on, the small boost hose is just a push on isnt it?
anyone know what the maf should be doing at idle and at 2000rpm? flow rate wise?

Dunno about the MAF, the hose is a prime culprit for those symptoms, it splits and faffs the fuelling ...hence the smoke ...

I was just thinking that if its an air leak, if I had a flat tyre on me push bike, I'd put the innertube in a bucket of water to look for bubbles. This lead me to think, well, submerge the engine in water and look for bubbles - but that's probably not practical. However, is there some kind of dye that you can squirt into the air intake to see if its escaping? I know there's similar for the cooling system.

Smoke is either lack of air or too much fuel ...

Soapy water and a paint brush might work ...

I think submerging the car in a lake would be more practical than painting all the bits air might be getting out from
