Default White smoke everywhere....

Hey guys so recently after the turbo install im getting enormous amount of white smoke.
Its not bluish or black it's white..

When i start the car there is no smoke and after couple of minutes of driving smoke comes. When im driving i get huge smoke clouds behind me from the exhaust ,but when i idle my vented hood smokes too..

Any ideas what could be the reason??

How old is the turbo? Possible seals have gone bad?

sounds like either the turbo seals OR the drain line isn't draining well enough.

^^Then the smoke would not be white. White equals coolant being burned, bluish would be oil, and black for rich mixture.

Is it a water cooled turbo? Did you do a headgasket?

I always get mixed up between blue (oil) and white (water) Maybe try a compression test and go from there....

another possibility is over-filled oil, causing oil to flow through the PCV valve into the inlet manifold.
On the off-chance, check your oil level.
