This was in the forum a couple of months back with more details on what you will need to do so that you don't destroy your engine. There is a picture also.

It plays absolute HELL on your turbo vanes... Heavy Smoke is one thing but the amounts of raw fuel that the smoke switch dumps is VERY abusive to a turbo.

cut 1 of the two wires that runs to your solenoid(doesnt matter which), and run it to a switch... theres your smoke switch

to blow smoke you need more fuel than air plain and simple , i love the smoke but it has to be controllable and ive been on the wrong side of that ! its no fun then ... and your stuck with a bad tuned truck , so you shouldn't bomb for smoke you wont be happy after a few weeks . bomb for performance and the smoke will come with it ;)
