Some smoke from tailpipe at WOT

Wondering if some smoke is normal out of turbo car. It was at about 35 MPH I punched to pass. Couldnt see color it was night. Wasnt alot but noticable in others headlights. Maybe been there all along or just started. Also seemed to take about a second and a half for passing gear to kick in. Car has no known issues or engine lights. Boost is normal. Thanks for help.

Yes. When you punch it, the black smoke is normal. It's called tail pipe cleaning.

And at night, you could even see fire out of the tail pipe when you punch it and release the gas.
