White smoke from exhaust when taking off from a start.

I have had some of my friends tell me that I put out some white smoke when I take off. Does anyone know what could cause that? Could it be from my oil being cold when my car has been turned off for a while?

lol..

is this your first turbo car?!

its totally fine, its from the fuel mixture .

oil will find its way into the stock intake from time to time, as the turbo is oil cooled.

Its nothing to worry about, especially from a roll.
