Default white smoke

Help white smoke coming from my exaust just when moving very slow or in bad traffic on idle ?????????? Been told it is a carbon build up in my actuator ( the thing that is connected to the turbo ) and that I would have to replace the turbo but fuel cleaner seems to have almost stopped the problem completely but still smoking a bit do I need to or Is there a less eV pensive way of sorting the problem or do I need to not worry about it as I have read some thread's somewhere I am sure that suggest it's not worth the worry but I do plan to get the car remapped soon and tune it up a bit more .please help would be appreciated thank you

White smoke indicates water going out the exhaust. Is your engine heating up to temp?? Maybe a thermostat problem. Water in oil?? Might be a head gasket problem.
