I think it's a boost leak that is popping open under pressure. The MAP is reading boost and the ECU commands fuel, then the boost leaks and you get a bunch of black smoke because of not enough air.
Or it's simply a clogged air filter.
Or a wastegate falling open.

The way to check it, however, is to tee a line with the pressure guage the canister and apply gentle shop air pressure to the tee. The WG lever on the top of the exhaust housing should not begin to move until the air pressure on the guage reads 5 psi.
I set mine to 12 so it wouldn't open before that.
