White smoke after 5 mins of driving when turbos running

Car was sitting outside all night, temp was 51 this morning, it rained like a mon-soon for 3 hours while it sat outside. I allowed it to warm up for 1 min, drove it slowly.After 5 mins of driving slowly I accelerated hard with turbo psi at 8 and a white cloud was blown out like a smoke screen, after another 5 mins the smoke disappeared. No coolant missing, could the rain got into the muffler and the high temperature heated up the muffler and created the white smoke? No check engine light, no more smoke after 10 mins, is there anything I should be worried about?

12000 miles it is 2008 tiptronic

Thanks for your replys!

Hi Allen,

I'm not sure about the smoke, but at 51F it seems like it should take longer than 5 minutes to get your oil (far left gauge) up to around 200 degrees. Getting on the gas hard anytime before that is not a good idea.
