replaced lower intake manifold now smoke is comming from the turbos???

hi everyone

im having somewhat of a problem here

as the thread states, i replaced my lim gasket and now after putting it all back together, im getting smoke from around the turbos. its not a sweet smell and its not blue so i think its neither antifreeze or oil. it also is not a fuel smell...any ideas?

im running my turbos non-seq, and i have injectors and fuel rail, microtech, in case one of these guys has something to do with it.

I would double check the oil and coolant feed and return lines.

Whenever you pull the turbos, you always get greasy hands, oil, coolant, etc. all over stuff. It will all burn off, making smoke and stankyness.

If it persists, you may have a leak somewhere. But, some smoking first time you fire up the car is totally normal.
