I agree it's going to smoke, but...I have a vnt 17 an initial step hard on the pedal will blow lots of smoke until boost starts rising, and with this turbo it rises quickly. Once boost rises the smoke pretty much clears up and any you go fast. I don't know about the K14, I did have a t3 and it was similar, just didn't start boosting till about 2500 revs. This VNT starts boosting much lower in rev range than the T3 did.
