Are you referring to the smoke? If you are, then yes that is completely normal.

some of it is condensation from being so cold, my eg does the same thing. It's basically the equivlant of you breathing in cold air, it creates the white cloud.

It does sound like just the effects of cold weather. Unsure about a bad turbo.

It's tough to tell from that video. Can you get one in the daylight? If it's cold out, you will see water vapor on startup. If it's really cold, you will see the exhaust vapor even when the car is warmed up.
