Default smoke problem

i just installed my drag turbo kit for my h22 and the car keeps blowing out alot of white smoke, it smoked up the whole street.
where should I gap my spark plugs?
DO I need anything else for this set up?
It's a Gen3 drag kit for the h22 in and 97 civic hatch.

Did it smoke right when you start up the car after the installation? Or while driving?

smoke is never a good sign, but if it's a new kit, let it run for awhile and see if it goes away. when if first peiced together my kit, it smoked for a few hours before settling in.

mine did the same thing...just let it run for awhile...maybe a few hours and see what happens. check your oil and coolent level at all times and also check your compression to insure that it's not a major problem.
