When fitting the transmission and fiddling the starter motor into position tonight, the rubber protection sleeve around the starter motor cable rubbed against the turbo compressor housing, causing a shortcut in the system. All of a sudden I noticed smoke from the engine bay, and luckily we could act fast and disconnect the ground cable on the battery. If we kept working underneath the car.. it might had been too late to save the car.

So, advice is to very well check your clearance and add extra protection..
