White smoke from my exhaust when accellerating slightly. What might it be?

It happens to me once in a while...
I have found its condensation. I park in an aircon garage in south FL and the design of most exhausts (mtm in my case) tend to trap condensation. I idle the car till warmed up, blip the throttle, black water comes out, and then drive it a round and it should be fine. Sometimes it takes a while. I figure if I was burning coolant I would have a low coolant warning after a couple miles, and its been a couple thousand of doing this.

That's what happened to me when my K03s went. On-boost, you'd get smoke, off-boost it's fine.
Those turbos are toast, IF you must drive it, keep an eye on the oil, I was 2 qts down when I checked mine.
