Silly question but... change timing after swtiching ECU?

Replaced the ICU yesterday and it started straight away (ig got to a point where it wouldn't start straight away as well) and loads of smoke from the pipes that wouldn't happen / never happened before
This is what has me puzzled, if there is smoke (I assume black) it is running WAY too rich, but if the timming was WAY off you might be running in a unhealthy place and lots of unburnt fuel making it out.

. That's was very strange already.
Went for a quick drive and it seems to even have a better response but it's popping a lot

Popping out the exhost or intake?

I say set the timming and report back
