Smokes when hot

My truck seems to smoke pretty bad when accelarating froma stop when the engine is at operating temps. I will get some smoke when in is cold, but it gets worse as the truck warms up. I just cleaned the EGR valve. It was stickning, but after the cleaning the valve was moving fine. Is it time to clean the turbo?

What type of smoke? White or Black? Any mods on truck? Any loss of coolant or other symptoms?

Big plume of black smoke. No coolant loss. Pretty much stock. The only other symptom is a slight hesataion along with the smoke, and then it takes off, and the smoke clears up.

The MAP port and hose where clean when I inspected them this morning. I still need to pull and clean the EBP sensor and tube. Is there any way to manualy actuate the turbo? Is there any wat to diagnose a sticking turbo, or VGT silenoid issue?
