Light smoking from BRAND NEW turbo
So the civic's been done for awhile, but I havn't been driving it until my downpipe gets here. Anyways I just took it out for a test run and everything is well but does anybody have any idea why the actual turbo housing would be smoking lol. No oil leaks anywhere and it's a brand new garrett super 60 turbo. The actual casing of the turbo is smoking a little bit? Considering my past history with oil problems and ruining turbos this makes me feel uneasy. Any ideas?

Jimfab's are about as much as you need to spend, although there are plenty of low buck alternatives that function just as well although they don't look as slick. If you've got an ED chassis, you might want something else than Jimfab, though, I am not very happy with downpipe clearance on mine.
