I just got my car back last week from the shop, everything was going fine until earlier today when i went to get on it and noticed i couldnt hear the turbo trying to spool, the car had been sitting for 5months before i started driving it, i did however start it up and let it run about once a week, any one have any ideas? somebody told me from having it sit it could have an issue with the oil being low? not really sure.. anyhow any help will be greatly appreciated. it also looks like a little bit of white smoke is coming out of the exhaust, but if it was a blown head gasket would that cause my turbo not to spool?
 
ok now, if my headgasket was blown, would the car still run well just not with any boost? ### thats what it seems to be doing now, seems to run like it was, just not getting any boost..

its not wanting to go past 1-2lbs of boost..

any suggestions?

took my intercooler pipe off to see if there was oil or coolant or watever, i dont see anything
