Heavy black smoke on acceleration

Driving on the motorway london to Cambridge, around 70 odd miles, car drove perfect on my way there, steady 70 - 80mph,
No smoke, no loss of power, drive perfect,
But on my way back to london was a completely different story all together, soon as i started to pick up speed, the car started to smoke heavy on acceleration just pass 2,000 revs, let go of the throttle and theres no smoke...

The smoke was quiet heavy, any car that was behind me moved over to the other lanes Whistle

Driving around town theres no smoke.
Had a search on here, most topics relate to intercooler pipe,
Should i go ahead and change this pipe over first or could it be something else?
Something more serious?

Any advice greatly appreciated

almost certainly intercooler pipe has a split or has delaminated. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

I had the same and it turned out to be the actual inter cooler had a split in the outer casing. Got that replaced and changed to silicone hoses while I was at it. Embarrassing smoke gone!

So looks like the culprit is the intercooler pipe then,
Will get this ordered tomorrow

it's very simple indeed. you just need to locate the cover by the front offside wheel arch (for the TVD6 in any case), take that off to give you access to the bottom end of the pipe. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
