smoking after 700 miles

If its a continuous smoke then something is wrong. It could be the turbo, or it could be the oil control seals. I would start with checking the turbo.

A few more details would be nice. Is this a stock setup or are you running a different EMS?

Rebuilds should be smoke free after the initial startup for the most part. However if the engine was built with worn oil o-ring carriers, or the springs were installed wrong, you may end up with smoke.

It could also be something as simple as a PCV malfunction.
