all TURBO GODS please help me out here!!!!!
i went out racing last night and killed a hatch with a built b16 and 10psi! but well when i let my car idle for like 5mins. or so when my friends and i are just chillin and then start to go again it smokes white smoke bad. but then i just have to give it like a couple lbs. of boost and it goes away but in that period of before and while giving it that boost it freakin just blows tons of smoke out, and its white . i checked my breather valve and its normal no smoke. and the weird thing is that it only does this after i let my car just chill for a couple mins. while on. im all puzzled by this, please help me out here! thanks guys

white smoke is usually coolant.....do a compression check and make sure you have not blown your headgasket.

11.3:1 is not to rich, that is safe. your EGT's are off because your probe is not in the right place, it needs to be about 1 inch from one of the ports in the exhaust manifold. Does the smoke smell like burning oil? could be a bad turbo. could also be coolant. are you over heating at all.

ok check this out, before i ditched the a/c if i would turn it on the car would start to over heat. but if i turned it off and then turned the heat on and would turn it on full blast it would be good to go. i noticed if i go up hills and it starts to spool up with the a/c on it would just start over heating really really bad so i would have to let off and then hit the heat up again! if that helps that would be awesome. thanks again.
