Only 14k & white smoke help!!!!
If it happens WOT closer to startup, it could also be condensation evaporating rapidly that had been sitting in the exhaust. Go on a few spirited runs to let the car warm up and give the car a chance to have everything evaporate out of the exhaust if there's anything.. then have your buddy follow you again and see if white smoke still comes out. If it does, you can rule the easiest one out.. then move onto looking for coolant seeping by somewhere. Take it to the dealership.. it is under warranty.

Whites smoke means something other than oil is being burned. Our turbo's are cooled by coolant, as when I was at CBRD they had a failed on on the bench and it had lots of coolant on it from overspin.
It could be coolant, transfluid, or any other fluid other than oil. It also could be an issue, after the engine, I dont think its the engine, however I could be wrong.
As others have said, you really should get it looked at. Change the oil, and look at it. Check your fluid levels, and then check them again in a fwe days and see if they change.

i thoought red too but to my understanding i would have to put in at least 750cc injectors and walbro fuel pump and possibly head gasket and bolts...is this true or would i be able to run the red just tuned down. and if tuned down would i lose all the benefit of the red. thats my issue with deciding...i do agree with u on wanting more if i get the green though. i guess i could get red and tune down and eventually get the rest. at least that way i wouldnt have to get a new turbo when i want more.
