Smoke after re-install Stock Twins

When you say it smokes from one turbo, what do you mean? I assume you do not mean out the exhaust since I am not sure how you would be able to tell that only one turbo is smoking.
You say it only smokes when it is completely warmed up and you raise the RPM(rev the car?).
Smoking rising from the turbo itself is what you mean? One of the housings or the center section?
Maybe you forgot to tighten down an oil or water line... Or did not get a good seal between the turbo and manifold or turbo and ypipe.
What does it smell like? Does it smell like burning oil or coolant? Or does it smell like exhaust gas.
If you just took the turbos off and put them back on within a short time period, they should not have magically blown themselves if everything was fine before.

I do not see how that would work. If the turbos were blown, it should have been smoking before the install as well. The ypipe would not change that.
The stock ypipe is not that restrictive that it would stop smoke from blown turbo seals from being seen.
I have never heard of turbos going bad just from reinstallation after a short time unless some foreign object had been introduced to the turbo like dirt in the oil or something.
I think he just forgot to tighten something down. Be it an oil line, water line, or something on the exhaust side of the turbo. That is why I asked what the smoke smells like...
The description given is a little vague. I will wait until he responds to my questions before assuming anything further.

I marked it at the picture.
Its not oil and water should be more white i think,it doesnt smell much.
The turbo was at good condition, i put them out and checked everythink before i reinstall.
The engine has not heated up but nearly. At idle RPM everything is ok but if i do 200rpm more or it begins to smoke.
I think it smokes from the TC-Engine manifold or under it.

smokes at the turbo or out the tail pipe? If at the turbo I would just say oil from your hands and what not getting on the manifolds and turbo, causing the smoke as it burns off.
