White smoke form the t-pipe? If so, Not good, sounds like head/gasket problems.

If the head gasket is bad blown it will run like crap because the cylinders that have the leak now have very low compression. Do not drive on it you will destroy your motor that way. Do you know how to do a compression test.

i to agree with the head gaskets or a cracked block. when you are under pressure from the turbo it expands the damage and allows more coolant to enter the cylinders. pull the radiatior cap off and let the engine idle for a while, let us know if there are any bubbles showing up in the radiator.
i bet your close to 380 horse at the wheels, that little guy stould scoot!

do a compression test..........check you oil for water and your rad for oil....look at plugs when you pull them to do the comp. test
