Sudden exhaust leak at hwy speed...lots of black smoke!

Soooo....I was driving down the interstate when all of a sudden the engine noise gets louder, she throws a some more power to the wheels, and the cars behind me got covered in my rollin' coal!

The exhaust is now leaking at the junction between the exhaust pipe and the turbo. I'm a little concerned about all the black smoke, though. Can anyone chime in to help ease my mind? I'm thinking the exhaust leak is causing the turbo to not force enough air into the intake causing it to be an over-fueling condition. It's either that, or I've REALLY screwed up somewhere!

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
