Nothing wrong with the boost, it just seems to me those big diesel trucks are usually tuned to over-fuel, so when they get on boost you see the fuel flowing out the exhaust.
Especially with something so over-powered, it is important to accelerate briskly to put the engine in it's more efficient part of the BSFC curve, just don't push it to the point of visible smoke or high rpms.
