Smoke near turbo???
Smoke near turbo???
This happens SOMETIMES when I rev the car, and SOMETIMES it will smoke for about 10 seconds when I'm letting the car warm up, doesn't smell like burning oil, coolant levels are good, what could it be? I added a video

Can't really see much since it's dark. Do you hear an exhaust leak? It may be nothing more than an exhaust gasket.
Another possibility are the PCV lines. There is one which connects to the TID. Is it loose or leaking?

You know what l think it can be an exhaust leak because my friend did mention that it sounded like I had a small one, but I have turned it off while it was smoking before and heard a sizzling for a good 30 seconds, I do think it's a little more than a exhaust leak, but all my fluids seem to be good and no wet spots on the ground

If you hear a fizzing it's probably a coolant connection. Crush washer at the coolant banjo bolts on the side of the turbo, bad gasket where the line meets the lower intake, or cracked line.
