[Biturbos4] White smoke

[Grant Lenahan]

White smoke?  Do you mean steam?  Does it dissipate or linger?

If its steam, it is either condensation boiling off ( hope this is true) 
or water entering the cylinder via either the turbo bearing or the head 
gasket - other places the high pressure typically keeps it OUT under 
acceleration.

Incidentally, ELF excellium full-tech NF 5W40 is excellent oil.
