Default Another White Smoke Problem

Okay guys I need some input as to what might be causing this. There would be a cloud of white smoke that shoots out of my exhaust when I floor it getting to speed. Some times it does this and some times it does not. I thought it might be the head gasket but that seems fine. However one of my car's symptom is that it leaks coolant through the radiator cap. I am getting no where with this...i've tried different maps and nothing really changed. I also would have this weird problem, sometimes the car would hessitate in any gear to accelerate. I would tap the gas pedal and the car justs hessitate and bogs back down, then I would let it idle and then shut it off and then restart the car to get rid of this. Any ideas guys? Oh sorry......I am running a T3 .42 .48 on a d15b7 intercooled on 440cc injectors with Uberdata. Any help would be appreciated!

Blown head gasket. Blowing coolant out of the radiator and white smoke tells all. If you want to double check, do a compression test on each cylinder and post the results. If all looks good, do a leak down test and watch for bubbles in the radiator. I'd bet mig money on a blown head gasket tho

I have the white smoke problem again it comes and goes but Im pretty sure its oil from the Turbo.
How can you make out the diffirence.
Its white buy you get a distinctive oil smell.
Im asumign no oil smell so your asuming its the gasket and coolant.
