Do a radiator compression test may be your leaking a little bit of coolant into the motor.

^ all the information is good. First I would get the right ecu and get it tuned. White smoke is transmission fluid or coolant. Black is unburnt fuel/carbon. The best way to see if your head gasket is working correctly is to use a kit that checks for combustion gasses in your coolant. I think a new ECU should fix your fuel problem.

WRONG ECU WILL **** UP YOUR MOTOR. Quit driving it until you get the proper ecu
