Depends on how long it smokes. After sitting oil will slowly seep into the exhaust side of the turbos and pool this will burn off in about 10 minutes and only happens when the car hasn't been started in greater than about 2 weeks in my case.. Normal cold start will puff blue due to the normal oil in the rotor chambers but only lasts about 10 to 20 seconds. IMHO
