Default Bad turbo?

an 03 Audi a4 1.8t 101,000 mi. Went in my house the other day and left the car running when I got back in and went to back up I had a white smoke blow out and smelled something burning won't smoke at idle and smoked again later withight blue tint then back white. Is this my turbo gone bad? It won't do it unrtil I drive it for a few mins. And today I started it again and it had like a rattle kind of chirpy noise. my oil wasnt milky and antifreeze was good so I know it's not the headgasket. Help!

Yes when I first start it after about 10 mins it feels like it had no power. And when floor it it starts making a whistle. But it comes and goes
