Hi & Small problem

Finnaly got the truck mostly back together (new intake and tranny cooler...Im lazy) and took it up to the foothills for a test drive (and just to see if the intake lowered EGTs any), going uphill everything was perfect (lowered EGTs 1-200 even though I have a boost leak I didnt last time up the hill thanks to my boost gauge hose blowing off) however coming back down when I was just coasting/engine braking Id get large plums of white smoke out the tailpipe so ended up just left foot braking/staying on throttle coming down so I didnt smoke everyone else out. I will admit I havnt gotten the CDR tube hooked back up yet and the downpipe is starting to fall off again

(silly slip fit pipe...) but neither of those should cause smoke out the tailpipe... After stopping at the parts store for a new CDR tube checked the injector lines (engine off) and they were all about the same temp.

Current fleet; (In purchased order...just cause)
1997 Mazda Miata (DD)
2010 F150 (Tow vehicle/borrowed)
1984 Mazda RX7 (Track only)
1995 24' Pace Shadow (Car trailer and garage)
1991 F250 - (The Freight Train) - Extended cab, 7.3IDI, 4X4, E40D, ATS Turbo, 3" DP, 4" exhaust, beat to hell and back but still running (needs new body...)
