What color is the smoke? White is coolant, blue is oil, black is unburned fuel/carbon build up.

Check the spark plugs. The insulators should be a dark yellow to orange color. Bright Orange/Yellow to white indicates a lean fuel/air mixture, while brown to black indicates rich mixture and/or oil burning.

While you're at it, check the intercooler hard pipes. Turbos like to leak oil.
