VinylPlaya04 will become famous soon enough

White smoke would typically imply a blown headgasket, or possibly the water seals (if your turbo is water cooled)

my guess would be the injectors are running either too lean, or too rich.

If it were too rich the smoke would be black, unless its SOOO rich its sending out a ton of unburnt fuel?

There are no seals between the water jacket of a turbo and the rest of it. Its a solid casting.

BudDyLeEBoOsteD has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Yo...... I am having the same exact problem... After i put my TSI turbo in there ...the m** FO*** smokes sometimes when it gets real hot or whatever.. I have RC310's but there not in there due to that stupid fuel rail.. they dont fit.. I am not sure about the TYPE S Injectors.. But i knw that the problem we are having is that we do not have enough Fuel going into our cylinders..... what you're having is a misfire on a cylinder...wich that means Injectors not good enough!.... I am goin this week to get a Fuel Rail Custom designed so i can fit those injectors in there!>...
