Turbo install smoke from turbo to manifold?
I installed an recently rebuilt fp green I primed the turbo and started it today for the first time. When I started it I noticed smoke coming from around the exhaust manifold to the turbo. I installed a new grimmspeed gasket and used 4 new bolts from a local hardware store (no studs). I torque the 4 bolts to 40 ft lbs . Here are two video that I took one while running and the second one after turned off. Is this normal or do I have a leak? Is this common on a first start up? Any input would be great, Thanks

Did you use any WD40 or the likes? It looks to me like smoke from that burning off.
Did you put in a new o2 housing or dump pipe? Sometimes the new stainless smokes a bit for the first few times.
