With or without the box turned up?
 
My Megacab would smoke empty or with a load. Normally no problem considering I upgraded from a slightly bombed 12v. The 06' smoke was kind of an obnoxious haze. I had my injectors modified last week then towed 5500pds on Saturday. No smoke empty/loaded. At 70mph I averaged 12. 6mpg over 246miles with the Jeep/trailer in tow.



The injector mod was an extrude hone worth 82hp and 135 lb ft tq.

hehe, adding to the Tacoma Aroma... WHOO HOO!!



my 04. 5 will give a puff now and then on shifts, but i have never barked the trubo. also after cruising on the highway at 70mph for a while if i stomp on the throttle it will give a nice Haze as stated before. for about 1/8th mile.
