Default 1996 Volvo 850 exhaust smoking

Hello I’m new to this forum, but I have recently replaced my turbo seeing that it was going bad, the turbo I replaced to with was used but seals were still good, when I finished installation, the car would smoke like crazy when idle, as soon as I got on the road it was find, what’s the problem?

The intake valve seals leak at idle and then stop leaking under load. This is because of the pressure drop across the seal.
