Nobody let me near their car! The more I do, the worse it gets! I checked to make sure all the hose connections were nice and snug and went for a test drive this afternoon. Under hard acceleration, not only was there the same hideous cloud of smoke, but I could actually hear a hiss coming from the area of the intercooler! Oddly, as I went on, this hiss largely disappeared, but clearly there is something wrong there. I think I'll need to take everything apart again tomorrow and make sure the O-rings are properly in place and the bend pushed home with the requisite thunk.

I would be assuming that something else was causing the smoke if it were not for this hiss, but it does seem that the intercooler piping must still be prime suspect.
