first start up after turbo install. smoke coming from manifold.
 

I just finished installing my turbo kit and when i start it up, white smoke is coming from the manifold, is this suppose to happen?

As in the manifold is leaking from the gaskets/welds or you have handled the manifold with dirty hands and all the ---- that is on it is burning off?

I'm guessing he's talking about the oil from handling the manifold is burning off, we get about 2 of these threads a month.

It's fine, it'll burn off and stop smoking soon.

I don't know, you should probably try to cut your losses and sell the car. How does $100 sound?
