Default Smoke from turbo area?

Well after deciding to change my downpipe I got halfway through and decided against it as I didn't have the newage pipe. I took all the bolts out the turbo to downpipe which came off quite easily, after putting it all back together and tightening the bolts to what I felt was very tight took it for a run and now got smoke coming from the turbo area. Any ideas? Car was running fine before.

Is it running ok now? And just smoking? How bad is the smoke?
When I swapped my down pipe it smoked afterwards then died off..

Ye feels normal when driving, smoke isn't overly bad but can see it coming out scoop, might just be me but I might be hearing a slight blow? Would this affect the running of the car? I did use wd40 could be this burning off?
