On my 2017 3.5 ecoboost explorer, when I start it up I get lots of smoke. I previously replaced one of the turbos about 6 mos ago which seemed to take car of the problem. But here I am with the same issues. Any ideas on what this may be other than a turbo?

ETA - the smoke is a dark gray that is way more than the normal start up with condensation.
