blown turbo
i think i might have blown the turbo today as my s12 is not taxed or tested i just pull it out from the garage and start it and admire the car and plan a few bits on what i want to do and imagine the finish article well on this event i realised some smoke from the zorst (clear) so i let the the car warm up an decided to tap the gas then smoke galore (white) does it mean the turbo is gone im not worried as a turbo was always on my shopping list it just means that the s12 has been delayed of its release date back to the cell till the next parole date any advice on turbos and what to pay as ive never had to deal with blown turbos before until now

Could it not just be condensation and from sitting for a while not being used much?

White = water = more likey head gasket that turbo I'd have thought
Or, being more optimistic, may just have been a lot of condensation from sitting for a while as Pukka said. Check for mayo in the rad cap and maybe do a compression test.
