Its probably some liquid leaking and hitting the turbo, then sizzling and smoking. I have no clue what that liquid might be though.

That to me looks a lot like oil smoke, is the oil supply flange clamped onto the CHRA tight enough?
Are there any cracks you can see near it?

i had the same problem with my car...sorta, i dont have a turbo, but i have an s5 engine in my 86 sport, my s5 intake was blown away in a tornado so i had my s4 intake on the s5 engine, it smoked exactly like that, i mean take the turbo out and that was my car, so maybe if youve done some sort of engine swap that could be it, but if thats not it, then i havent got a clue
