Default Strange smell after fitting turbosmart VTA?

Fitted a turbosmart VTA to my MY99 RB5 yesterday.
Since fitting im getting what smells like an electrical burning smell. It is all connected
up ok and works ok. Have checked for any noticeable smoke but nothing.
Worried I have eigther disturbed something or done something wrong.
Car also runs fine.
Any ideas folk?
