Burnt clutch usually has a distinct smell, similar to the smell of burnt toast. Oil, slipping belts, maybe even a bad alignment causing the tires to wear more then normal. Try to narrow in on the smell, listen for strange noises, and look for fluid leaks. Are you noticing any fluid loss?
If it's warm outside I start up and drive away gently. If it's cold outside I idle for a minute or two at most. I don't like to idle my car for extended periods of time.
I've got 3 years on a Walbro with the original stock regulator, I haven't done the 12v mod, and I've still got the original j-tube in. No problems at all. I do highly recommend an AFPR and j-tube removal, but they are far from required.
Bosch plugs don't work too well in most Supras. Buy some NGK or Autolite coppers. That could be reducing your power, but it should have no effect on the amount of boost you can run. My car with a 57 trim has been able to run 20psi for extended periods of time. I haven't had good experiences...
Could be malfunctioning charcoal canister, or the fuel tank cover in the hatch might not be sealed properly.

Check for boost leak, check for engine error codes, check the ECU ground on the intake manifold. If none of the above replace fuel filter if you never have.
I'm not 100% on that. I remember my 86.5 was easy to read, and my 92 is easy to read...but I've seen some that was near impossible. Somewhere around 87-89ish.
FYI you can buy them brand new from the dealer for less then $20. They fit better and are easier to read brand new.
And to answer your question, the dipsticks changed throughout the years. But not where it counts, length. They simply changed the end where you read the oil level.
Necessary, no. Good idea, definitely. I've seen people put boost controllers on stock exhaust. The gains aren't nearly as impressive as if the mods were done properly, but so long as you've taken care of the catalytics it shouldn't hurt the car.
Typically smoke on decel and after extended idle is blown turbo. Smoke on startup is valve stem seals, and all other times is usually rings/PCV.
One thing though, white smoke is coolant, blue smoke is oil. Bad turbo or active PCV system won't blow white smoke. Look at the smoke carefully...
