same exact thing happens on mine(greddy turbo too). make sure you have that little heat sheild over the turbo manifold. i think the stuff on it is just from the plastic melting and bubbling, that would be my only guess. nothing to worry about though

I also have the same setup and mine burns too. It is the rubber near the top where it contacts the tube. It only smells when after I have been boosting a lot. An aftermarket replacement is about $35. I am too cheap for that, so I will just let the plastic burn off.
