Was it smoking before the install? How's the vacuum? Do you have an aftermarket temp gauge?

Well as for the white smoke is it thick no its not thick at all once it smoke it will evaporate. And no when i had the stock mid pipe on it didnt smoke at all, the vacum is good 18 and i do have a aftermarket temp, and its good also. Like i said it only smoke if i rev it high or if i run my 7 hard then it will smoke for awhile, like i said it not thick tho. Thanks for the comment more comments are welcome.

Check your coolant and oil, and try to determine what exactly the smoke is. Bad turbos maybe? how many miles on them?

well today i took it for a drive again, i ran it hard this time and again once i stop, a puff of blue smoke will appear, the engine is a reman, 16k when i got, but as for the turbo, it wasnt rebuilt thats what the owner claim, I think my turbo is going out, and if it is how long can i run the stock turbo? will it harm my engine, Im hoping thats its my turbo rather then the engine itself. Thanks for the comment more comments are welcome.

Blue smoke, without a sweet smell, raises the flag for oil. I agree with Rich and say that it could possibly be your turbos. Just to be sure, continue to monitor your coolant level and temps though.
