Need some help new Evo owner!!!

Hey what's up I just picked up my 03 Evo 2 weeks ago and need some advice. On Sunday I changed the oil and put a cobb short ram intake on. the car was mostly stock before that with no issues. I didn't drive the car Monday but when I went to drive it today it runs fine but twice now when I got on it it left a cloud of blueish smoke. The turbo boosts fine and it only did it twice and not every time that I got on it. The smoking went away but it still did it twice. Could this be due to the intake? It's a stock tune still or is my turbo going? Any help is appreciated new to the Evo but not the turbo world

If you got on it when it was cold yea your going to get smoke. If it was warm it's usually rings or turbo. Test the compression and inspect the turbo.

Idk blueish white smoke is oil, straight blue might be carbon build up or crap fuel burning up if the car sat for a while.
