Default do turbos smell???(having problems)

i have a crx witha 92-95 greddy kit on it and ever since i've put the kit on my motor i smell this funny smell almost like coolant but not quite....i don't know what it is....but my question is do turbos put off any kind of odor just from being used or should i try looking some more for a different problem?

-thnx

Is the turbo kit new? Run it for a while and then see if it smells.

funny you ask, im in the same exact position as you are. and for 2 weeks, i had a mesh around the turbo. i juz had a custom pipe and flange made for $25 at the local muffler shop. anyhow, i also get a weird smell, although i think it's not smelling as bad as before. check for exhaust leaks.
