Alright first off i got a 1992 Eclipse GS-T, and my first problem of all the ones i have is that when it runs and idles sorta fine i think,,, but when u kinda get on the gas it blows black smoke everywhere, BTW i dont have a muffler on it, i took it off cause it was old and ghetto, and also around 5k+ RPMS it backfires hella loud, and i dont know what to do right now because i have already changed sparkplugs and gapped them to 0.041, and have set the idle-BISS screw to where it idles good, changed oil, and the cat also everything is gone out of it, like a testpipe but a cat type. I know also the Alternator is bad, because we have tested it.... and im asking yall because i dont kno as much... what could be the problems???? :dsm: :thumb: one more thing when it revs kinda high and then goes back down it sounds like there is some shaft play in the turbo.... like its not getting enough air , It actually sounds like something is broke off in there.... off in the ''Turbo Intake" LOL, i think i forgot what its called....
 
I'm thinking this is what your meant:
