Default my s2 escort turbo wont idle right when cold?

hi please help me. im new to fords and i want to build a mint rs turbo. im searching for a decent shell because mine needs too much work, cant find one yet? my car wont run right when its cold and the revs are all over the place. when the car gets hot it seems ok, appart from if i floor it it feels like a massive missfire or something beause at certain revs it judders and sounds wierd? it sometimes backfires and lets out a cloud of black smoke too i could do with a tuning guide or something? please help :O/

I would start with a basic service, change the fuel filter as well.
I would then get the CO checked as it sounds out, but may have been chipped etc so need to see first if it has.
