Excessive Black Smoke

Several things could be causing black smoke:

Problem: Dirty air filter (causing a restriction in the air inlet system)

Problem: Incorrect fuel spray pattern or extra fuel dripping out of the injector (causing the ratio of fuel to air in the combustion chamber to be too high)

Problem: Stiction in the turbo (causing lack of boost pressure)
