White Smoke? Blow H/g? Ca18det

hmm so i started up my car after installing my new turbo which took weeks to get and a bit of coolant came out of my exhaust housing on my turbo on the first start up after installing everything, i left on the downpipe but on the cement i can see the sprayed coolant on the floor and puffs of white smoke would come out. im thinking hmm maybe its the coolant from the turbo? maybe some leak thru the turbo naturally to cool it? but then im thinkin it could be a blown head gasket? now i installed the rest of my exhaust system which is just a straight pipe all thru no cat no nothing and when i let it warm up and rev it it shoots out big amounts of white smoke and sprays some small amounts of water or whatever thru the exhaust. (it is a mild winter the cars located in the garage and i even closed the garage just to see if the temperature outside has anything to do with the smoke but it doesnt. i dont see any milky coolant or my spark plugs being white or anything.) do u guys think its a blown head gasket? whats ur guys 2 cents? thanks in advance

if theres no oil/coolant mixing and you replaced your turbo/turbo lines recently I would steer away from the HG diagnosis

this a used turbo?

deduction would put the Head gasket aside. Unless you have been reving the engine up with no boost control and the turbo was freely boosting. Other then that it sounds like cracked turbo cartridge
