If the turbo is just installed, it'll smoke for a few days. Its just the oil burning off. Dont worry unless the smoking persists, or starts smoking a lot!

You'll get that for a while maybe a day or so.. It's just the oils that are on the turbo.

my car smoked from under the hood like a drunken man with a Cuban cigar for like three days! But I noticed it was coming from the outside of the manifold and turbine so I figured it was just oil and dirt, and all the WD-40 we sprayed on the dump tube to get it in...everything is okay now....now to getthis damn thing tuned!!!!
