You might be too rich up top and the smoke out of your exhaust is the unburned fuel.

Does it pop, can you hear what sounds like premature detonation or knock?

That is your problem right there. even though your at 3psi and some people say it's safe to run that it's not. the missing link is hiding the boost from the map so it's running the same settings as it would stock. Any time you add more air(even 3psi) you have to add more fuel or theres no way your going to have a the proper A/F ratio. Im sure you don;t have a system to tune it with right?(emanage,fmu or at least vafc?)This is a must with any turbo set up. Theres no sence in spending all that money to boost your engine and go cheap on the most essential part.(Turbo,fuel system and tunning....IMO)thats like paying someone 2g's to blow your motor for you. . My advice is to pull the wastegate spring(if it's external) so theres little to no boost and get yourself at least an fmu but pref. an emanage(not the greatest IMO but the best for us for now)and an msd inline pump. that would be the least expense way to go. RSX-S injectors would also help alot but not too neccesary if you want to run 6 to 8 psi. So park it till you get more fuel and some sort of tunning equipment.

based on experience with both EX and LX models, try taking the missing link off the map sensor (put it on later when u have a fuel system running over 6-8 lbs of boost), MAKE SURE ur not running over 5 psi, use 93 octane or higher, and get zex or colder plugs.

yes, you still need something to tune the fuel delivery curve. you can't just convert it and turn up the fuel pressure or you'll be runninge rich at some rpms and lean at others.

Hey MX what's up?
Do you have e-manage or any other electronics for your engine?
Cause you'll need to get it tunned, any change in boost on the system can make your cars computer do funny things.

Is there a tunner with a dyno where you live?
My advice is to get e-manage
Bigger injectors RSX-S
Fuel pump
Return fuel system if you can
Then get it tunned.

If you can tunne the vafc2 you may be ok.
But is not going to work 100%
Get at wide band gauge or at least the air to fuel gauge
Is better to run rich than lean
Don't blow your engine.
