Yep, well either the intercooler had some oil, more than others I have done, and / or the vent hose was causing some sort of back pressure. Maybe some else can comment on the back pressure idea.
I have done 3 others, and it only smoked for a bit (like minutes) and all was good...... The only other issue that I had was with a V6 where I had a bit of a problem getting the exhaust flange between the turbo and the pipe to seat 100%. Had to keep tightening / adjusting for about a week, then it setup.
I guess next time I will inspect the intercooler somehow without taking it completely off...
