if you KNOW something is wrong, why would you push the car to its limits? thats asking for trouble.
do you have any gauges? afr, boost, stuff like that? if so how are they reading?
what was the last things you had changed before you started getting the problem?

I have to agree with this. If you know something is wrong you need to back off and diagnose the problem. Who knows how much damage you could've caused with that pull. Not trying to preach just had to say it.

Take the time to fully diagnose your Evo's issue(s). Start with a compression check on each cylinder in your engine. Also check all your vacuum lines for leaks or bad connections. There's a whole bunch of things to just check over that are basic so you narrow your cars symptoms down to a solution. Don't just throw new parts at it and expect the issues to be fixed. That doesn't always work. Give the Evo a break until u find the issue and fix it so you don't further damage the car.

Ditto on the "don't push it".

Yes, you need to do a compression check. from the ammount of blow-by you are having, plus the smoke out the back (I am betting it's got a blue tint to it). You have some compression issues, and it's time for an engine rebuild.

Yes, as the other members have stated, start with the basics first. Engine compression and leak down in the cylinder to see if the heart of the car is still healthy.

Please share results. Thanks.

Did a compression test it was 90 all the way across. Problems started with fouled plugs. Replaced them ever since that car feels like it has less power. Also had a boost leak so replaced piping and couplers. And all i have is a boost gauge at the moment. Ordering an aem afr monday. I bought the car with a tbe megan o2housing mbc ive just added the piping. Friends say when i hit boost lots of smoke comes out(black). Ill keep you guys updated. Thank you for the help guys much appriciated

90 across.... Damn

Do a wet test, teaspoon of oil in each cylinder. And let us know.

90 is just way too low..

And depending on how it's tuned, black smoke is normal.

yeah 90 would be way to low. I think they are supposed to be around 130 straight across. Did you do it at proper temperature and WOT.
