Default White Smoke

Well i was just sitting there. And white smoke started comming out the zorst.
And it smelt like burning rubber lol.
now its still smoking, not as bad but still is,

Still boosting, though only tried softly and once. I eased it home.

Any ideas first thoughts what it could be.. ?

Was your car facing downhill?
Can be a build up of water in the exhaust which evaporates / steams when the exhaust heats up, creating white smoke.
Just read that it's still smoking though, so maybe not...

Hey mate thanks for the offer. I will be dropping car off to get old one taken out and checked so gonna be easier for them to just drop new one in.

Just have to decide weather to rebuild or vf34 wont know anythign till they pull mine out.

I mean on way home tonight from work car didnt smoke at all.. so really not sure whats going on..
