The blowing exhaust!

Hi all.

Been getting a smokey exhaust when applying load for a bit now, performance seems OK though, but today, I was working on the engine, I started it, and smoke seemed to come from under the turbo for a second!

Has the gasket on the turbo gone to cause this?

Pic is of the car JUST starting and when it first smokes, also does it when throttle applied.

Looks like exhaust to me, are those cables in the photo melted?

Something has gone in that, it looks as though the exhaust has slipped. Is there any play in it? They should be a snug fit with no movement between joints.

No, not melted, and it doesn't feel like theres any play, but it looks like the gasket is buggered lol
