it's possible that launch control was also added to your map - check with engine tuner to see if that's by design or not. A little bit of smoke when cold is expected if it's been sitting for a while - you'll have moisture build up in the exhaust that has to evaporate off.

what plugs are you running, grade 6 or grade 7? if it's the colder plugs (7's) it might be you need to get out for the old italian tune up to clean them up a bit.

My previous and current decatted scooby throw condensation out the back like a steam train when cold. Nothing to worry about. And yep sounds like launch control is activated as part of remap. I wouldnt use that tho until car is up to temp if i was you.
