Did you use any lube/wd-40? I used wd-40 to help loosen the bolts and when the car was first started after install, the wd-40 smoked for a bit.

Its most likely the wd-40(especially if you sprayed it everywhere), just drive it around lightly until it burns off.

AFter installation there was some fluttering noise only when i really get on the throttle or up into the 4,000 rpm range. It doesnt sounds like a leak, but does anyone know if that is normal or what for a full TBE with an up-pipe. Im guessing it is probably jus the turbo
