White smoke is usually coolant.
How much boost are you running?
How reliable is your turbo?

The turbo was ported at qpr with no shaft play. boosting stock. Alot of white smoke coming out. Coolant?

Let it run for a little bit, but watch your temps and your coolant level.
Is this on car start-up (Did you just install the turbo?), or did you go out and do some pulls and then the smoke started?

Well coolant does enter and exit the turbo...
Could this be a headgasket issue?

any leaks around the bolts for the coolant lines? i know mine has copper crush gaskets and if they went bad it could leak.

their is no coolent on the oil stick or in the radiator. I don't think it's the head gasket. I just replaced my injectors. I thought that one of my injector was stuck open but it's not the case.

I'm going to take it apart to see if the washers went bad. That might be it.

Could it just be condensation from the cold weather. I know my DSM show similar symptoms on cold MN days but during the summer it totally goes away.

Are you sure its not the Head gasket?

Jesse seemed pretty sure, but who knows.

There wouldnt really be any coolant on the dipstick because it would just bead off, and if their was oil in the radiator it would be by the bottom. Try draining the oil and see if theres any coolant, or try draining the radiator. You can always fill it up for free at work so its worth a shot.
