When installing the turbo kit did you prime the turbo? (pull the fuel pump relay and turn it over a few times to get oil flowing through the turbo) I'm not sure if there are any instructions that state this but you should ALWAYS prime any new turbo before running the motor.

If you did not prime it. My bet is that it could be one of two things. 1 it's just the new exhaust piping on the car, it will smoke a bit some times. 2 it's the seals on the turbo are toast because of not properly priming it. Hopefully it's the 1st one.
