Possible coolant leak? Sometimes a hose may leak coolant onto the hot turbo/engine block/exhaust that gets burned off. Its smells distinct - like plastic burning or kinda sweet.

 

The coolant is one possibility, but another is that if you changed or have had your oil changed recently there could have been some spill that poured on to a hot engine part when you went up the incline then burned off.

 

just how much smoke are we talkin about anyway? what color was it?

typically white smoke = coolant, bluish smoke = oil and black smoke = fuel/gas.

Do you have any coolant leaking into the cabin (on the floorboards under the mats)? Could be a leaking Heater Core which would cause the smoke to enter through the AC vents. Check your coolant level.

There's also the possibility that you have a leaking seal on the turbo. When the oil leaks from that seal the combustion of the oil is total and the smoke will be white. This scenario will lead to a dead turbo eventually unless fixed.<edited><editID>brrman</editID><editDate>38104.5809722222</editDate></edited>

 

It might be the blower fan if you had you pollen filter changed lately something might have fallen in there and when you went up the hill it got lodged between the fan and the case thefan is in...
