Well take off the intake pipe and check the turbo shaft and see how much play it has.. And alot of black smoke is a sign of a blown turbo..

Take off your intake and check the turbo for shaft play, then pull the LICP and check for alot of oil. A loud whine doing turbo spool is another sign of a turbo on it's way out too.

yea i checked my LICP and has a little bit of oil but im def loosing alot of oil. i add oil atleast every 3 or 4 days but as far as power and everything it feels the same. It's very rare that i actually get hard on the car i usualy drive it like a girl because cops are ****s around here but when i get into it after not getting into it for awhile around 4500 i will here little puts and i look in my mirror and there huge amounts of black smoke. I was thinking maybe i just needed a oil catch can. I have 50,000 miles but did spin a bearing and had to get a whole new bottom end about 7,000 miles ago

Changed out your pcv valve, could be stuck open....but even at that it would be blue smoke..... it could be that ur running really rich and your shooting out fireballs when you get on it and let off....what are your A/F at under WOT??
