I am guessing that you are referring to wide open throttle. This "smoke" is generated because the car runs so rich. All Evos do it and even when tuned there is generally no cure.

If, however, your car is puffing out heavy white smoke at idle then something is wrong. Go to the dealer.

There is a smoke? I thought you ment there there was a smoke (ciggerete) inside the evo. Yea like the guy above said black smoke= Normal which means the car is running rich, white/blue smoke= your in trouble.

I'm still confused on why you attached a picture of the front of the car?
