The yet another "smoke on startup" thread

So after 7 saabs and 14 years I had my first smoke on startup with my 02 Aero 9-5 (125K - stage 3). Car has been meticulously maintained and I just recently swapped out the stock IC for a ETS one. I noticed no major amounts of oil in the stock IC, or no play in the turbo.
The car sat for a week and yesterday when I started it it put out some smoke. Could not tell if it was blue or white (definitely not coolant - all coolant components inc. HG are new). Almost smelled of carbon. Wondering if the ECU went momentarily rich on starting as I have not been able to re-create the smoke since then (ie. when the car's cold or hot).
As I have no experience with bad turbo seals I would assume if they're on their way out the signs (ie. smoke) would be prevalent. No signs of oil on or in the TB or the intake/delivery system.
