Hi, I had a similar thing on a 2.7. Took it to the garage and at first they thought it was the EGR valves so fitted a blanking fit (that won't be an option if your car is newer, mines a 55 plate) then, on closer inspection there was a massive split on the engine side of the intercooler. New intercooler, no black smoke. The turbo hoses are known to delaminate and cause smoke, so maybe check those too.

Cheers

Neil
