Cold engine, black smoke?
I usually let the car warm up for a good 2-3mins at least till the rpms drop before i leave.

Upon leaving the house, my friend was behind me and noticed a bit of black smoke come from my exhaust as I left. He said it wasnt a lot but a little bit, and obviously noticable.

He said it was due to a turbo engine and some turbos do that due to a cold engine.

You guys know anything about this and our cars? (car only has 2k miles)
