the pipes will get very hot. its the manifold man, they get extremley hot.
smoking means there is something on the manifold burning off, no matter how hot things get if they are clean they will not smoke.
if you think they are too hot then get an egt gauge and see what temp they are

Well, usually when you first install a turbo on your car, they will smoke for a period of time, once everyone get's expanded and core, it should sieze to do it ever again

yea it gets real hot and burns stupid **** off... but shouldnt be THAT bad... i think your running too much boost and not enough fuel..
what are you using for management? sounds like your leaning out and have no timing adjustments and throwing your EGT's thru the roof... hurry up and check it out. ...could be fatal
