Condensation can be caused by replacing an older boiler or forced air furnace with one that is more efficient. Wringing additional heat out of the combustion process reduces the flue temperature. But, if your new unit is 80% efficiency, that doesn't seem to be the likely cause. Can you link us to the manufacturer's specs for your model?
It's possible that the excess air is off - but a combustion analysis would tell.
