Default Black smoke under WOT

I have a full AWE stage 3 car, and when I have it floored there is allot of black smoke. The car runs good.

Retune??

AWE Tuning RSKO4 GIAC software
AWE Tuning Fueling Kit
2 RSKO4 turbos
AWE Tuning Side Mounted Intercoolers
AWE Tuning/McNeil Competition Downpipes with Cats
AWE-Tuning Twin 1 Exhaust with flex joint option
RS4 Clutch+AWE Lightweight Flywheel
Bailey Diverter Valves
Samco Silicone hose set

And here is a picture of my exhaust tips.

I got on it really hard again last night and I didn't see much smoke at all in my rearview. My friend was behind me in his M3 and he said it smoked a little but not that bad?? Maybe because I hit it really hard in 1st gear and I haven't done that in a long time??

Default I *think* the AWE software is a little rich through the range, but it beats being lean.

Not that it would matter that much, but I'd recommend going with 710N diverter valves instead of the Baileys.

Also, you could check out your long term fuel trims. If you are pulling fuel, you're definitely rich. Do you have ECUx?

I'm going to just bring it to AWE and have it re-tuned and see what they say.
