Im no mechanic but Ive been told that this is due to rich fuel mixture, unburnt fuel. Another option would be to increase the boost but all these changes should be done on a dyno.

The fuel control on mine will play silly buggers occasionally and get stuck on "overfuel" (it goes to overfuel for starting) so when I put my foot down in traffic it belches smoke out the back. However, being unburnt diesel, it's all BLACK smoke.
Mind you, when it's hard to start sometimes it will belch clouds of blue/white/greyish smoke, which is also apparently unburnt diesel.....
