Did you seal all of the openings between the turbo and manifold? DP?

Was it a used turbo?

It can smoke for a variety of reasons: like was said before, from around teh turbo and teh manifold... or it could be from bad selas in your turbo, or it could be from your cartriges being gummed up and burning.

Is your turbo watercooled? or air cooled? I assume water as it is new...

Did you change your fuel system to a standalone? or change the injectors?

It could be you running to rich...


Ofcourse it could also be that you are smoking a phat dub and you are to stoned to notice that, that is the source of your problem :P

Check the fitting on the oil line to your turbo, maybe its leaking & burning off the oil on the hot exhaust.
