is the smoke coming from under the hood (turbo itself) or through the exhaust? if it's from under then it might be damaged seals.

no need to make multiple threads. how long have u let the car run for and does the smoke get worse the longer u run?
has this happened BEFORE you installed the turbo or only after?
its a BRAND NEW turbo? im thinking seals

Check your crank ventilation as it might be clogged (bad catch can) and causing this issue, i had the exact same thing on my 7 after the 9 turbo fitted.

I installed a good vented catch can and all is well now
