Your problem is most likely a split turbocharger hose. So whenever you accelerate hard and the engine call for boost the light will come on. And the puff of smoke is a good indicator.
The hoses are not expensive and are fairly easy to fit, so check them out.
Good luck. Let me know how you get on.

. Hi everybody I want to thank everybody for replies to what I posted I didn’t run a pole. I’ve been new to this site and I’m not 100% on options on here. First of all I had the 2012 F with 63,000 miles on it and I thought it was a head gasket cause I listen to other people that don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. I finally tested it and it wasn’t the head gasket like I thought but I ended up selling it and I have another portfolio with only 47,000 miles on it and I’m trying to sell that right now as I speak I’m on disability have enough money because if it breaks down it’s probably gonna cost that’s one thing bad thing about these cars other than that they’re beautiful and I love the car The white one I got with 47,000 miles on it needs a new serpentine belt brake pads and my son-in-law snapped a lug nut when we went to put the pads on and I’m in the process of drilling that out and what a pain in the *** that is and I seen somebody mention about you should get an extended warranty when you have car like this, but I don’t know if everybody knows all the information on that. But, I went to check that out and here’s the thing about warranties after the original runs out so we got the warranty eight months later something breaks on the car they’re not gonna cover it only up to what money you already paid them into the warranty, that’s all they’re gonna cover and I didn’t know that and I just found out. Should be careful before you pay for a warranty. I advise you that when you get the contract in the mail read it carefully. It’s like 10 pages long kind of confusing and everything soon as I read it I found this out. I started taking stuff off the engine in the front to check the police and look at the service be on there. I’m not a mechanic, but I checked out online about it and I have to try my best. I guess I almost got the top part where the air filters and everything off. Again, thank you everybody and God bless and take care. John
