How long should it smoke after new turbo?

I just put a good turbo into my 87 900T and the car is still smoking... some... Is this just residual from the oil in the system? The mechanic a few years ago said that the turbo bushings were starting to go, so I've got a couple of years of oil in the intercooler and such. Also, if someone could clarify what exactly it looks like when a head gasket goes, that would help. Right now the car only smokes if A) it's heated up, or B) it's revved up. Doesn't sound like a head gasket to me (and it's not burning coolant) since it's not smoking at idle.
Thanks,
Dave M
