i just went on the dyno to do my e-test and i took it out of the garage and give her a bit and BOOM here goes a big backfire and then suddenly all the road was filled up with white smoke coming out of my exhaust, it smells like oil, anyone have any idea what it could be?

Remove the plugs and look for oil. If the plugs are clean then maybe a turbo bearing seal is gone. Be a mechanic!

If when you were dynoing you were presureizing the crank case it will sometimes push oil into the intake finding its way into the exhaust and will smoke like hell until it burns out. It will scare the crap out of you but doseant hurt any thing.
