Blown headgasket. Check your coolant level. It should be noticably lower. How much boost are you running?

Since you live in kalifornia i would slide on a high flow car or something until you can get the issue resolved. White smoke is not a good sign. Good luck

^ what he said, white smoke= blown headgasket or blown motor; my catless system blows out a little black smoke, but that is just from running a little rich
