of white smoke until it warmed up. the smoke was about 1 cubic foot, coming from the tailpipes. is this normal? doesnt white smoke mean oil? my boost and turbos seem fine. thanks!

Oil does burn bluish white - if not a lot then it's probably fine
Just a little oil that's getting burned up in your exhaust. I wouldn't worry about it unless you start seeing more. Just check your oil level too.

exhaust manifold, it can seep through even a good gasket, and it takes very little oil to create puffs of smoke. then once the car is warmer it all burns out to the point it isnt noticable
