No, that shouldn't be the reason. The byproducts of gasoline burning are carbon dioxide, and water. Youre seeing water vapor that condenses out of the cold.

I wouldn't recommend going WOT when the engines cold you should allow your fluids /coolant and especially your oil to get up to temp.

Can't go wrong with a bigger fuel pump if you have the injectors to handle it otherwise you will basically just be bending your stockers over and giving it to them in a way nobody likes it lol..

Any guess what the issue is? My coolant looks good. Oil looks good too so wonder if its a headgasket. I hear catless cars can produce white smoke.

For any fuel system upgrade, a fuel pump is always the first thing I do (minus having the gear to tune).

A wally 255 sounds great but if you are going to by injectors and tune it never hurts to go bigger than smaller. 880's are a decent size but if you plan on going any more you might want to buy a little bigger (like around 1,000cc's)

Look into some I.D. 1000's, or as previously stated some FIC's or anything around that. Gives you plenty of room to play with for the future depending on your goals.

880s are a dime a dozen i paid 130 for my set and is more than you need. also not sure when you last replaced your plugs but that could be a problem esp with your tune being out of whack. also with your mods you dont need a bpr8, id run a bpr7es gapped to .020. most importantly id get a tune asap

Holy crap! How many threads do you need to start in which people provide you numerous reasons to get a tune? Why are you not sensing a common theme? Go get a tune before your car explodes. If you have a real mechanical problem, need a fuel pump, need bigger injectors, need to replace head studs, resurface your head, purchase a pink air freshener or whatever else may be required A COMPETENT TUNER WILL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU!!!!! Lastly, if you're wondering how to pick a capable ttuner, don't start another thread. SEARCH!

PS here's a smiley face so you know I'm friendly
