my car smokes white smoke will idling and taking off from first. also when shifting gears, when you put your foot back on the gas, it smokes for a short while. it only does this when boosting so im assuming its my turbo. anyone who has had this problem, please give me some info on what and what not to do. how much will this cost to get fixed? any info is appreciated. thanks guys.

Some light grey smoke is common place on a fairly stock car like yours. Basicly from the car runs a little rich under hard acceleration. Remember also, that you have no cat or other emmisions....
The car's got a brand new head gasket, and I checked the trubo out pretty good before I bolted it up, so you should be ok there. Always funny stuff going on on an 11 year old car...
