My car does the same thing, black smoke I know one of the injectors is bad cause under load it will misfire on the cylinder and swapped the injector the misfire followed. I forgot what the plugs looked like but remembering now there was a good amount of black soot on the injector tip...

This whole time I have been thinking it's my turbos seals.

Wow I have never see a 335 do that. Still curious if the leaky injector was the issue though. Looming more like it was.

I haven't looked into it. I have never had a misfire due to the suspected leaking injector so I just haven't gotten around to it. It should be time for plugs in the next few months so I will dive into it then.
