Does your built engine smoke 'during boost' for first ten minutes after cold start?
Happens to me once I really push it (high rpm/boost) even after I allow it to warm before I drive. However, after about ten minutes of driving it does not smoke anymore at all. Remember, it only smokes at 6000+ rpm and boost, no smoke with normal driving
I was told it stops when the pistons expand. Could this be the case and is this normal?

Perhaps the clearances are on the loose side for your built motor, and oil is getting past the rings when it is cold.
Also, how's the tune on your lower temperature fuel tables? I find a lot of cars run too rich at colder temps, and could also result in some smoke during the first initial pull. Blue or black, oil or fuel, sometimes it's hard to tell depending on sunlight. Sometimes rich running cars can also put out a slight bluish/gray smoke.

Thats not normal and is the car boosted? I asume it is and would say the turbo could be the problem.
