That's what I meant by valve seals in the original post. They are good.

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.
I followed the works instructions and properly primed it. Pulled the fuel pump fuse, turned over 4 times for about 5-7 seconds each. Something like that. Can't remember exactly. But I've driven it enough by now I would think all the manufacturing crap would have burned off by now.
