If he's reving at standstill, turbo is not boosting.

Default My car runs some white smoke until engine/exhaust warmed up. If you are seeing white smoke when
warming up (oil temp < 175). Then sounds like normal.

Default If you drive behind at any car with cats before its warmed up will see some white exhaust.
If you think your turbos are shot, check it out under full boost after warm-up.
