Turbo cars are set richer than non turbo . Black smoke is from being rich. You can maybe lean it down a bit but not too much. I like 11 to 1. Some like a bit leaner maybe 11.5 to 1. I like to be safe.
So see whats going on with the tune. And be happy its not blue smoke. Blue smoke is oil of course, white smoke is blown head gasket normally .

Black smoke is good with a turbo vehicle.
