What is your question?
My car got the turbo replaced a couple of months ago due to lost of power, now the car was running good for a month or two but now makes way too much white smoke on the exhaust right on start, the car doesn't get hot and oil change was done recently.

Chances are it is a bad PCV valve. My wifes 06 did the same thing, only smoked on start up. These plastic PCV valves have a tendecy to lose their innards, making them run full vacuum which sucks up oil. Only problem is that the valves are dealer item, but cost just $12.00. A DIY job that takes about thirty seconds to fix.
Check your engine coolant , sounds like a blown head gasket (burning coolant) does the 'white smoke' have a sweet smell to it?
POSS TURBO SEALS OR AS STATED COOLING IN COOLING SYSTEM.
I don't get your answer. Can you explain please?
I agree with globalhelpers line of thought the turbo has coolant running through it and if a seal is bad it could be sucking coolant in from that creating the excessive smoke. I wish I knew how to tellyou how to up-load a video perhaps global helper is more savvy at that then I am? Maybe e-mail with it as an attatchment to either one of us -- My e-mail is harrysemail@comcast.net globalhelpers' is on his website.(Nice, by the way!)
Have a combustion leak test performed at most any repair shop. This wll tell if there is an lnternal engine problem like a head gasket or other problems.
Got it now, I will tell my mechanic to check for the seals on the turbo and also the head gasket.
no, no sweet smell. The smoke smell like burning oil or something and I put a rag to cover the pipe and no color or residual was found. The radiator has plenty of liquid but the extra water tank level was low almost empty. I will need to add water to both tanks and see which one comes down. How can we check and make sure that the problem is the head gasket and not the turbo? I have a 20 second video of the smoke, how can I upload the video?
