it sounds like blowby. There is white smoke coming from the breather filter. Thats why youre seeing smoke from under the hood. The ringlands are toast.

how old is the engine setup and the turbo setup? if it's a brand new buildup and brand new turbo kit then the smoke "could" simply be residues/coatings burning off during your first few heat cycles.

unless its like a billowy thick cloud or whatnot.

what does you oil smell/look like? have you smelled the smoke? antifreeze burning will have an almost chalky smell to it....oh and dont try to breathe in too terribly much since one of the products of antifreeze burning is phosgene gas
