Nothing wrong with black smoke and its normal with boosted cars. Could be running a little rich though if its really excessive.

He probably has a test pipe. That'll give you black smoke too.

when i get on it at night i see smoke in the headlights of the car behind me, it's kinda funny. during the day it's only slightly visible, but as they said, black is from fuel, not oil.

I used too see black smoke. I think swapping the old plugs for new ones resolved my issue.
