I had a stuck secondary. On start up I never noticed any extra smoke, often excessive popping until the car warmed and then it lessened. The biggest sign is excessive fuel in your oil. My exhaust manifold would also glow once warmed up within a few minutes with no boosting, noticable most at night

Car may be harder to start and flood easily. How old are the injectors?

The first thing to do to a sticking and dripping leaky injector is use a good quality pour in the tank fuel injection cleaner. I use Chevron Fuel injection cleaner with Techron. It works.
Follow the instructions on the bottle. The stuff is aggressive so don't leave it in for weeks.

We tested many of these cleaners at work and found that many of them do a very good job. My advice is to stay with a known name brand and produced by major oil company. Ford, GM and Chrysler pour in the tank fuel injection cleaners work well also.
