Cat removed smokin in first 10 minutes

Well i am as fresh as a daisy on here but building up the 300TDI slowly for some off roading.
Just thrown the cat in the bin. I guess i expected a bit more of smokin on start up but for the first 10 minutes it's like a icelantic volcano going off then it clears.
Ok when warm start off

Is it that bad......

Mine was the same, don't worry about it, you'll notice under load or heavy acceleration
It will do it too, this will last a few days but then will subside

Cleaning out the intercooler might help get rid of it quicker
