Default More problems with the bloody RS

Right, after all the garage shinanigans I have another mild problem.

When I back off the throttle and change down a gear to slow down, blip it, a puff of smoke comes out. It has never done it before and only does it when you have come off of boost.

Any ideas what it might be?

Yeah Fiesta turbo.

No it hasn't been set up.

Although it has had minor ancillery work inc: new alternator, new sparks and leads, new cambelt, new aux pulley and belt, oil change and filter.

Worrying
