Is smoke coming from the turbo area normal when you reinstall the twins?? Maybe burning off the pb blaster or oil??

If there was any oil/PB or anything on there it should burn off once the engine warms up for the first time...... the majority of anything on the exhaust will burn off in the first 30 mins or so of operating at temperature.



Just keep checking to make sure you don't have any fresh leaks...especially from the oil feeds.
