I bought a 2013 mazdaspeed 3 on the 17th, drove it a little everyday, and then at night on the 19th I saw lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust on a drive home. The car seemed normal for most of my drive, but one time without warning it started smoking at a stop sign. From then on it seemed to act normal while driving but when I would slow to a stop, and while stopped, the exhaust started smoking a lot again. The smoke never smelled sweet; it was nasty smelling.
I tried doing a little research on google and that made me think my 2 most likely causes are turbo or PCV issues, but I want some advice from experienced owners too. For some background context, I can tell that my car has an aftermarket intake and exhaust, and it seems to have a catless downpipe as well. I'm not sure what else may have been modified.
