Default Is this normal?

Hello.

I have just started up the car again after rebuild the engine. A new turbo stage 2 is fitted. Not water cooled just oil.

I have just been test driving it for about ten minutes (very calm driving) and when I raist the bonnet, I could se smoke coming from the turbo. Like its really hot there. Is it normal? The manifold or the turbo is not red of glow.
Im thinking, whats happining if I would go for a really tuff drive?
