Nate,
If you rebuilt the turbo, it should be fine, as long as the parts weren't damaged.
I had some smoking issues that I hoped would be sorted by a Turbo rebuild, yet they weren't.
The turbo rebuild sure helped the power, and was well worth it.

Well Mark ;
It's grey/black smoke so I *think* so ~ typically turbo smoke is a steady thin white or blue smoke at all loads / speeds .
I overhauled the turbo last Summer so it's entirely possible I didn't do it right but before I go there , I need to address the excess fuel issue .
I was looking at an '85 300D yesterday and the IP had been removed without touching the oil filter canister ~ I'd love to hear the details of that as I want to swap out the IP on my '84 Coupe .
I'm already resigned to replacing the turbo but not until I know the fuel injection system is 100 % .

Are you sure the smoke is coming from the IP? From the symptoms, it could be from leaky shaft seals in the turbo....
