Whenever I first turn on my car and I let it warm up it always lets out white smoke and once it it up to the mormal temperature it goes away. Does anybody know what this could be from? Also my mods are a K&N filter, 2.5 inch down pipe and test pipe, 3inch catback, Turbo XS RFL BOV, and also an Electronic boost controller on a 1g FWD if any of these could contribute to it. Also my car only has 53000 miles so I don't know if it could be the turbo already going or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
You might check into getting a new head gasket white smoke means that its going to start leaking soon check your oil on you dip stick and then check your water level on you radiator
 
CHeck the oil and coolant. If either is creamy, it may be the headgasket. If your oil light flickers on and off at low idle, its your oil pump. That happened to me, and i just went all out and got a built motor.
