running rich??

well let me star of with i just got my car out then shop after a month of hastling with clutch warranties.
drove the car for 500miles then all of a sudden when i was spooling the turbo i lost power. felt like a missfire on multiple cylinders. took it into the schools shop ran the code reader gave me no codes besides a downstream o2 sensor. i tried driving it back home with my friend behind me and black smoke was coming out the tailpipe almost as if i was running a diesil.
still no codes popping up. next question is i replaced a resistor pack for the injectors a couple months ago. before it was repleaced one of the injectors stuck open changed the resistor and problem solved.
could that be an issue again????.
also when i lighlty touch the gas pedal it will go no problem until i reach about 3 rpm and 15 mph it starts sputtering?
anyone else have this issue?

Sounds like a major boost leak to me

With a leak you are describing you may not see anything on the gauge

Perform a proper boost leak test on the system and go from there
