white smoke ...

looking at a 2000 9 - 3 Saab 2.0 liter turbocharged engine. I know quite a bit about classic sobs 94 and back, don't know a whole lot about newer Saabs was wondering what would cause it to smoke, if it was not a head gasket or a turbocharger what other reasons for white smoke upon starting could there be.the mechanic that was looking at it said it smokes almost immediately upon starting, could that be a fuel issue or is it definitely a turbocharger or a head gasket. I'm going to bring it home tomorrow and do a compression test and take the turbo piping off and see if the turbo feels good. I may also drive it down the road and that may give me an indication if the head gasket is blown because if it misses and sputters then it's probably a head gasket.but I'm wondering what other reasons could there be for the white smoke hoping maybe stuck injector or something like that, but I don't know a lot about the newer saabs,but I have been driving the older Saabs for 20 plus years, and have quite a bit of knowledge about them. Any thoughts would be great thanks.
