Default white smoke fom cossie?

got a 2wd saph, 55K genuine, stage 3 approx 350bhp and shes driven fairly conservatively 2 or 3 times a month.. Every now and then when shes fully warmed up if i hold the revs and pull away from a line of traffic when i ease off she seems to dump white (i think) smoke out the back any ideas what this could be? ibeen told 101 different things from every muppet 'who's bruv or best mates got a 1000bhp cossie' so thought it time to ask the experts.
cheers guys

Oil Being pulled over on Overun. It is quite common on Cossies!! Nothing really to worry about unless it is excessive. Just check all the breather pipes are nice & clear of any possible blockages

yep - will probably do it once firt time she comes on boost from being stood, but after that, as above, only if the turbo seals are getting a bit worn and it pulls through a bit on overrun. as long as its not blue when on boost, not too much to worry about.
