hey guys. recently, ive noticed that when i rev the car hard (near redline) when cold, theres a puff of smoke. the smoke is cloudy but not thick. I was just wondering if this is condensation. when it is not revved, no smoke would come out and also no smoke during startup

No smoke when the car is warmed up. only when its been parked overnight.

Probably just due to a richer fuel mixture during warm-up. But...why are you revving it near redline then? Give the engine, transmission, power steering, etc. a chance to warm and the lubricants to flow - or you're asking for problems.

There is no reason to rev the car that hard when cold.

don't be surprised it the turbo seals or bearing fail after doing this,along with any other part of the engine..
