White generally suggests water, Blue smoke oil, Black smoke fuel and Grey smoke can be the warning signs of a tired turbo but that would happen regularly.

If you have a large bore exhaust and it's cold outside then you will see alot more condensation from the exhaust but it's really nothing to worry about.

Lost any water?



Edited for spelling.

I fear James that your Turbo may be on the way out. Tell tale signs are white smoke on start up that dis-appears as the engine warms up.

Speaking from past experience white smoke can be an issue with an injector. Usually means that its blocked and not producing a mist of fuel, instead it is 'squirting' fuel into the cylinder that is not possible to burn cleanly and evaporates in the exhaust.

My guess it a bit of crap in one of the injectors blown through when you 'blipped' the throttle, that said I have been wrong in the past!

Although a few years ago a trick or treater emptied a bottle of baby oil into my exhaust after I told them to pish off, result was thick white smoke for about 15 miles!!
