Default White smoke ? JGM info on car please

Went to view a 2006 sti spec-c today,the car is modified running a motec m 800 oem ecu,with anti-lag, s/s sports cat sytem/green panel filter,the car is said to be 370-380 bhp,but tbh it didnt feel that much quicker if any !!,than my standard P1 ,
Anyway i noticed a lot of white smoke coming out the exhaust and even when fully warmed up ??,on tickover there is no smoke but as soon as the car is rev'd up lots of white smoke comes out the exhaust ,could this be a simple thing like tOO rich/mapping problem?,or is it something more serious ?
The car has had all the work carried out at TSL motorsport in the last year and mapped by JGM,but apparrently has recently been tweaked on a r/r day @ surrey rolling road due to some cold start problems.
cheers pete.

without being an expert of any sort, white smoke usually means water.

head gasket or turbo seal failure?

What does the oil look like (any mayo looking deposits on oil cap or dip stick)? Does it pressurise the coolant header tank?
