Ok so basically I got black smoke coming out my exhaust and my car seems to studder kind of, any idea's (yes I know I sound retarded in the video) but let me know what it could possibly be. Shitty cell phone video quality sorry, just started seeing it and that was all I had.

I would say it is running rich and that is excess fuel burning which would lead to black looking smoke. What are your mods and do you have a boost gauge and a wideband?

Black smoke is either burning oil or running rich, burning oil could be a number of things, running rich could be fixed quite easily.

Oil is blue not black. I would guess you developed a boost leak and now you're running rich. Especially since your getting a studder. Do a boost leak test.

Alright a put different gas in it today from a different station, and now it runs just fine. I always put 91 in so I don't know why different gas stations make my car run differently. Oh well at least it's better now.

cause there is different qualities of gas. i've read a few threads around the forums on it.

There is a gas station just down from my place that always seems to have shitty gas. I noticed it with my Subaru, and now i fill at a different place. No i'll affects yet with all three of my cars that i fill there.

Ok bringing this back up, its happening again with the same gas that "fixed it", this time it's doing the black smoke but also sounds like 2 step if it builds boost but im rolling, and if i break boost and let off, it like click-chirps, i don't know if that sound is my brakes or the turbo. If anyone from around my area could maybe come check it out, it would help a ton.

DO A BOOST LEAK TEST!

black smoke usually means the engine is running rich, boost leak test would be a great place to start
