White smoke=water

Possible head gasket problem.

yeah, it sounds like it's the head gasket.

But if you want to make sure it's not a seal on the turbo, disconnect the intercooler pipping if you're running a FMIC, or the top mount intercooler if you're using the stock one. If a seal on your turbo is bad, you will see oil inside the pipping. You can also check for oil inside the intake for the turbo.
