What sort of engine management are you using? How are you adjusting the boost (you've gone from 20 psi to 13, and now back up to 14 psi).

Take it to any competent garage for a compression check. Better yet, a race-type shop that has and knows how to use a leakdown tester. It's hard to guess based on what you've posted because black smoke usually indicates an overly rich condition. When something breaks, it's more often accompanied by bluish oil smoke, not black like raw unburnt fuel.

Take it to a shop.
