i am having a issue with a miss and running rich problem when the factory boost gauge goes past 0 . it starts spitting and sputtering and black smoke pours out of the exhaust. Was wondering what increases the richness of the car under boost? new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coils and many more. when the car is cold doesn't seem to do this . could the bearing be going bad in the turbo.i am losing it. any help would be great.

did you checked your temperature sensor?
alp
temp sensor brend new. Wife also told me the smoke that comes out under boost is bluesh in color. car running like crap.
It could be an air leak. If you're not generating any boost, but the ECU thinks you are, it will keep adding fuel.
If a turbo goes ... man I can tell you. My T2 ate itself, and it smokes. Man does it smoke, it burned a quart of oil in less than 5 minutes.
But the smoke isn't blue/black or blue/blue ... it's thick grey/blue. That's from raw oil going up.
It will still make boost too, just not as much ... heh, and it's slow as sh*t
If your car is all original, I'd look at that crappy orange gasket that goes between the turbo and the outpipe. Check for any leaks.
make an ECU check!
i will order new orange gasket. checked the computer last month everything was wrong. had like 5 codes forget what they where will recheck and get back to you guys thanks
