Some smoke from exhaust & 2nd turbo.....

So then like I just recently I've noticed that when I floor my car I can see some smoke exit from my exhaust once 2nd turbo boosts. It's like the same thing I see when I dynoed my car (And from seeing other FDs being dynoed) I still get good solid 12psi, so is that a normal thing?

I'm thinking it could be my M2 ECU running very rich, since before the ECU I've always ran on the richer side so I'm thinking that the ECU might have upped that richness a little bit. But anything before 4.5k rpms or full throttle I don't get any hesitations or problems. (besides the 3k hesitation)

My performance mods:

K&N drop in
HKS CB
HKS DP
M2 ECU Stage III
Boost gauge hits solid 8-12-8

Tell me it's normal...... BTW, I should probably change my plugs again......

what kind of pattern is 8-12-8? If the smoke is black, then it might mean you are running rich, however it's like blueish then it could mean your rear turbo is going. Is there any oil around it?
