Sounds a little like turbo seals because those will smoke when you let off the gas. Go drive down a big hill and shift into a low gear and let the engine slow the car down. If smoke goes everywhere, it's turbo related.

When my turbo seals were bad my shaftplay was still perfect. Check IC pipes for oil.
