  What color is the smoke?  I usually see an increase in black smoke, under 
load after about that amount of miles.  Dad's pu has started smoking a bit 
under light boost so I need to add a little tension to the spring in the LDA 
it looks like.  
  Still sounds like a bad injector.  Did  you "run" them after replacing or 
rebuilding?  
  I ran the Jetta's injectors today and two were fine.  3 were breaking at 
about 2400psi.  One was way lower and sounded more like someone 
giving a Bronx cheer (raspberry) than the nice, soft pop of the others.  
The other bad one broke well, then would pee, break, pee.  Looks like 
a couple injectors for it and I've done about 6 total so far, in less than 
40K miles.  :-(  Don't always trust that a new nozzle will shoot well, 
even if it's a rebuilt assembly.  We sent one or two back to the parts 
dept over 6 months while I worked at the dealer
