My mates cossie puffed black smoke as it hit boost and that was given a clean bill of health buy 2 tuners.

If it was a specialist that told you then they going to see these every day and know what the crack is, stop worring and go play with it

you will always see smoke on the rollers!
was at a evo RR day last week and every single one( about30) was wreaking black smoke.
as long as its a light haze under full throttle and not clouds and clouds its usually ok.
