as u said it's black smoke and all stock evos do it when you go WOT. They do it as they run rich from the factory and the computer dumps a lot of fuel when you go WOT and hence unburnt gas = black smoke

please correct me if i'm wrong

Black smoke = Fuel
White smoke = coolant
Bue-ish/grey = oil

look at your mods: maybe your seeing more smoke since you have an intake and no tune therefore it running even more rich. Not to mention it probably idles not too greatly either with your vta.
