It might be the fuel filter blocked. Check first the water trap at the bottom, drain a bit. Or run it from a jar of diesel and see if the same happens.

That aside check the fuel pump belt timing (36 teeth dot-to-dot).

When it smokes does it "miss" or is it just a smooth loss of power? Can you hear the turbo spin up?
Any flashing diagnostic light on the dash?

I had a fault like that car was in limp mode so I was told check engine temp sensor changed mine fixed the problem mine was okay on tick over the moment I went to accelerate revs bounced wouldn't go over 3000 revs it was sort of hunting on me
