No probs.
The more I turn it the more smoke it makes, if I leave it at a reasonable setting, which I did but have it a little higher now, I don't notice any smoke. I have it set a tad higher now and notice some smoke on initial acceleration, but it does go faster so it must be burning extra fuel and not just throwing it out the back. The best way to get tailgaters is to slow down and if possible change up a gear to make the engine labour a bit at low revs, then turn the knob and boot it this doesn't work well on motorways though as the revs are too high and the fuel gets burnt instead of turning to smoke!
