does it smell like gas or more like pancake syrup ?

was it a used turbo ?

You need to give us more info..
Did u leave the Stock pistons?
Is the turbo used?
Did it smoked prior to the turbo install?

Could be a lot of factors but u need to give us the info.

IF the turbo was new, then there is a good chance its something in your motor. Anything from oil (which is realy blue smoke but can look white) it could be rings, a cracked piston, cracked head, head gasket the list goes on. If the turbo was new I would suggest doing a leak down test to find the cause of your smoke.

IF the turbo was used. Then that is probably the cause problem, especialy if the turbo was from a junk yard and sat for a long time.
