From what I can see in your mod list, you're on the stock turbo and stock injectors with no changes to the ECU. The factory tune on these cars is rich to protect the motor and runs on a 9.5:1 air/fuel ratio. Boost leaks would aggravate this condition further. At this level, it's normal for the car to blow black smoke and smell rich under acceleration.

Some information on building a boost leak tester can be found here:

Finally, until you add larger injectors and something to control them, you'll continue to run rich. Please reference the tuning guide which can be found here:

Let us know if you have questions.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, get a Pocketlogger. It will allow you to see what your engine is really doing.

IMHO it's the best $125 you can spend on your DSM.
