White smoke is usually coolant. Did you do a compression test after finishing the head gasket job? Did you make sure to clean all residual coolant out of the cylinders before putting the head back on? Did you torque to spec, then retorque after 50 miles? Did you replace the head studs?

Do you have shaft play in the turbo? Sounds like you need new seals in the turbo.
