Yea, where are you seeing it? under the hood, out the exhaust? Whats it smell like?

Could be a gasket leaking or something that simple.

the smoke appears to be coming out bottom center section of the turbo , no oil leak, nothing leakin, it smells like some oil being burned???but very lite smoke not allot but noticeble???

If it continues for more then a couple of heat cycles, I'd be worried about oil or water seeping out at the points where the connect to the turbo. If it was bad bearings, I believe you'd be seeing it out the exhaust, not from the turbo itself.

yup
but if you seen smoke from the turbo, you won't see a leak, cause it get's burned, just feel (ofcourse after it is cold)or look for strange appearence on the turbo

ok

ok

ok according to the shop the smoke is from the grease from the bearings, the turbo was just rebuilt prior to me getting it? is this normal

 

[bezerk]

if it's grease from the bearings you won't see smoke outside the turbo, only from the exhaust...

how many miles after the new turbo?

right after

right after i installed it, i ran it down the block, parked it at home and noticed some smoke coming from the turbo, white smelly smoke???
