Default SMOKE??

I got into my car in 3rd gear today and a friend was behind me and he said there was some greyish white smoke normally that would mean running lean but How could i be running lean with when the A/F gauge is peggin the last green light and on a volt meter the o2 is reading .98 strong, can someone please explain this???

greyish is close to white IMO ,, maybe a leak in your head gasket, just a thought.

Some guy that works as a acura tech said thats that normal for boosted cars. He said his WRX does it to. It depends how bad it is though.

No im not buring oil or loosing coolant my oil looks brand new every time i change it and has the same amount as when i filled it up. I checked compression and the numbers are excellent. I just cant figure this out for the world. and as for the A/F gauge being off i know they are shitty thats why i taped the wire for the O2 sensor at the ecu and had a friend hold a voltmeter on it at WOT to check the voltage and it was holding .98 volts strong witch is about ideal air fuel ratio.
