Fuel economy

Just realised i havent tried this, will do so when i next have the car on the jack/stands.

Anyway, figured i'd add to this thread as opposed to starting a new one, as the new query is kinda related.
Basically, since starting this thread, im being less "spirited" with my driving, which means less of the full throttle. Sad When the revs are low, thus off-boost, the smoke that billows from the exhaust is something to behold! Also seems to hesitate for a moment before bringing on the power. Could this be overfuelling? I know the Lucas pumps are renowned for being smokey when tuned, but this is ridiculous!

I'm pretty sure the boost is being controlled by the fuel screw, as i gave the wastegate a good couple of turns the other day, and only made it up to about 19.5psi on the gauge, so if i turned the fuel down to combat epic smokness, would that possibly then reduce my BOOOOOOOOOST? And before you ask, its clean ON boost, just resembles a locomotive OFF boost. Boost compensator (if you can really call it that!) is wound almost all the way in.

Any thoughts guys/gals? I think ive covered everything. lol
