Emissions and Exhaust Systems
Internal combustion engines have byproducts called emissions. These byproducts are either particulates or gaseous chemicals. Emissions travel from the engine via an exhaust system, which is a system of pipes that leads the emission away from the combustion source.

It could DEFINITELY cause it, I am not saying that you can not modify your engine, Just keep in mind that an engine is an air pump, and The piston comes up to top dead center, (NOTICE THE USE OF THE WORD,DEAD) when the piston is down it has about as much volume as A drinking glass in the cylinder, When it is up, it has about as much as you would have in your mouth, NOT CAN HOLD, WOULD HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN DRINKING WATER,The TURBO CHARGER compresses the air BEFORE the engine gets it, So what would normally be equal to A GLASS of FUEL/AIR MIXTURE, Is now equal to A 2 liter bottle, When you "ADJUST" the pop off, Or really tighten it up, You do not let the EXCESS air escape before it hurts your engine, You definitely need to "READJUST" the pop off, at least A littly, KEEP IN MIND, you may have already broken rings, or piston, or bent rods, or blown headgasket, For your sake I hope not,REALLY GOOD LUCK, Jamison
What does it mean when black smoke comes out the exhaust and the car starts going about 30 MPH?
sounds like it could be your oxygen sensor. If it was me I'd replace it. If you smell a strong odor of gas, it could be your MAP sensor. You might also have a bad pickup in the distributor. Good luck.
What causes thick black smoke?
Thick black smoke can be produced by a variety of things, including the burning of some kinds of plastic.
White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of a blown head gasket. Stop driving the car until you get this repaired. Coolant in the combustion chamber will destroy this engine in short order.
White smoke is an indicator you have a head gasket leak. The white smoke is actually water or coolant mixing into the combustion chamber with the fuel and air. Have you noticed a bit of a rough idle? Have you looked at your coolant level lately?

* Black smoke comes from partially burned fuel. This indicates that the air filter or fuel system needs to be serviced.
* Blue smoke indicates burning oil is a bad sign. Clouds of blue smoke on start-up may indicate worn valve-guide seals, valves, or piston rings, the latter of which can mean a cylinder-head or engine rebuild is needed.
* Billowy white smoke may indicate that coolant is getting into the engine. Another bad sign. This can be a result of a blown head gasket, damaged cylinder head, or even a cracked block. All are expensive repairs.
What is the purpose of a exhaust silencer?
To silence the exhaust. Noisy cars disturb the peace and if loud enough your car won't pass inspection and cops will find a liking to you.
