I usually disassemble everything and clean things out manually.

Make sure your intake / pressure hoses are not cracked... you will lose boost pressure and the engine will smoke.

Check for fault codes as well.

I had a passat in the shop today that had a broken turbo hose... lots of black smoke when accelerating!

Replaced the hose, no more smoke!

I would also be checking the induction hoses for defects, that would be a good place to start.
