It *might* be the turbo gasket

Ask your dealer to check the turbo gasket for any leaks. There may be other causes, but one known cause of this, if it happens with only one "puff" at startup, is that the turbo gasket has a small leak. When you shut of the engine, a drop or two of oil oozes through the leak and is burned off the next time you start the car.
This happend on my 2000 9-3 5-door and the turbo was replaced under warranty. Apparently the gasket can not be replaced by itself.
In your case it may or may not be the turbo gasket, but they should at least check this.
