Sounds like fuel cut overboost, do you have a boost gauge?

If you can test it in 4th and 5th under full load and watch the gauge...you will then 'see' what its doing.

Smoke, dunno.

If this happens only at less than half a tank of fuel then it is probably fuel surge.Can happen when pulling lots of acceleration in a straight line or particularly on long fast right handers as on motorway flyovers.
