About a week ago I noticed that my car had white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I realized it was a coolant leak from the color of the smoke but I cannot find any leaks. (My head gasket, along with every other gasket and seal on the engine and transmission are less than 5 months old from my 1g swap into my 2g.) I've been driving "normal" just to determine when the clouds of smoke occur and I figured it out to be right about the same time I'm boosting.

Could my head studs not be torqued the correct amount and be allowing my head to separate from the block at boost and letting the coolant in my combustion chamber??

I've checked my spark plugs and they look good except for #3 which had kind of a white residue on it.
 
well, on the advice of a buddy, i pulled the intake piping going into the turbo housing. there was oil on the intake side and there was an insane amount of shaft play. thankfully i had a big 16g that i was polishing that i could drop right in. it's now in, no smoke and it's a sweet power boost from the stock 2g turbo.
