Engine Problem?

I just recently put a greddy turbo kit in my car and I am going to be using cobb access port with tuning by MM. I put the base map in for FI and I drove it around for a bit and besides it running very rich, which I am assuming the map is meant to do, when I get the car really warm after driving it for about 10 mins I start getting smoke out of my tailpipes. It's not oil because I had that happen before on a previous engine and the oil level is staying constant. It almost seems like it is so rich that I am burning so much fuel that the fuel may be causing the smoke? Also the temp gauge reads normal for the car, but when I run the car in neutral and keep it at 4k for about 5-10 seconds the overheating light will come on, but as soon as I let off the gas it went away. The coolant level is normal also. Any Ideas what this could be?

MM does increase the amount of oil injected by the OMP so it is possibly oil. You won't notice the dipstick change right away but it will drop much faster than before. I was at 1qt for every 3k miles before and now Im at 1qt for every 1k miles.
