It is a 51 reg and losing power and smoke too much dark smoke then once you accelerate more it clears what causes that no engine management light is not on

'Bit' more info needed (and punctuation marks perhaps).

Model year, engine code, mileage, service state, conditions of use......

Boost pipe wouldnt clear as accelerating, airleak might.
Without car info I cant comment. If its tdi its too much fuel until the turbo spools up
