Pull the DTCs so we can know what the wrench is for.

That is an torque managment code. Now if you can find someone that knows what that means you are all set.

White smoke is usually antifreeze burning. Blue smoke is oil. Black smoke is rich.

But those are just guidelines.

Is it doing it all the time or only under hard accel? If you are blowing white smoke all the time, I am thinking you may have taken a head gasket out.

email whoever you got your tune from and ask them if they disabled the torque management of left it enabled. That might be a place to start.
Hopefully your white smoke is just some residual antifreeze burning out of the exhaust and not an indication that you have blown a head gasket....or something worse. You should seriously consider finding a dyno shop somewhere that has experience with mod motors

It is also possible oil could be recirculating through the turbo. Make sure the oil lines are all hooked up correctly and the oil return line has no restrictions.

i found the problem and fixed the problem...the turbo oil return was not clocked in the right position...now I have a bigger problem...I was ******* the car driving and blew my ****ing engine...i think its a piston or a rod or something because the engine runs, but smokes like a mother****er and I also hear a clanking noise...thats why I have a built shortblock on the way, but what a stupid move...I guess thats what I get for pushing around 460 rwhp / 9 psi on an undynoed and not custom tuned car...how ****ing stupid am I!

Well it sounds like you had plans of going to a stronger bottom end anyway. Shame you killed the engine though. You may have just ate a piston or melted a ring land, etc, etc. All fun side effects of too much boost with too little tuning.

Good luck. Post carnage pictures when you get the motor apart.
