Not a surprise...
As a rule, allow turbos and any kind of wrap to smoke for at least 30 minutes.
Some will smoke significantly.
Once the items all get to regular operating temperature, give it at least an hour before the smoking will stop.
As long as it doesn't smell like burning gasoline / oil / coolant, don't worry about it too much.
