It sounds that way. Did you check the turbo for bits of filter?

The intercooler pipes like to delaminate inside and you end up with a balloon of rubber flap blocking them.

yea i checked all of that and no bits in turbo that i could see and all pipes looked in tact to me
 
where are the intercoller pipes please and i will check them tommorow

i took the pipes off that go from the air filter to the turbo didnt check any other pipes though

They are the thick pipes that go to the intercooler. If you look through the grill of your Landy you will see a small radiator in front of the big one. This is the intercooler. Look down the back of the radiator from the engine bay and you will see where the thick hoses enter alongside the main radiator. They bubble on the inside like this......

You can't see what's happening from the outside. You have to take them all off and check them.

Egr valve or turbo seizing.

My money is on the hoses.

Black smoke means there is too much fuel in relation to the air.
