If the engine isn't fully warmed up when this is happening, I think it's simply condensation burning off.
Vehicle ran for a solid 6-8 minutes, then once turned off I noticed the smoke. I'd imagine that's enough time to warm up, it's strange though as my oil and coolant seems fine (appropriate levels).
I'll do a compression check and a coolant test to assure they come back with a passing grade.
If they come back clean, what else can I do to assure there's no issues? I'd imagine those two items roll out most major concerns.

You're seeing this shortly after turning the engine off?
By time I turn the key and walk to the rear of the vehicle, however never fully tested it by having someone look at it when I turned it off immediately. This is something I just ran into yesterday, and once a few weeks back but didn't think much of it until I saw it again.

Put the palm of your hand under the "smoke" when you see it and then smell it. It should have a distinct odor if it's oil or coolant. My guess is condensation burning off.

Yeah, I agree with @CID .....you need to run it much more than that to rule out the condensation idea.... but, do your testing anyway....you'll sleep better!

Doubt it, but again.... it won't hurt to check it out.
So I did smell it, and couldn't smell anything. With that said, my wife came out and said she smells something but it isn't a sweet smell or anything. I really couldn't make anything of it though.
Well, yesterday turned into a mess of other issues. I did get a hold of a compression test tool, and tried to pull the plugs however couldn't find a socket that would fit inside the cylinder head (so small... Even though I had deep well sockets). Then thanks to you guys I realized that there's a toolkit with a socket tool in it!
So long story short I am going to work on it today.
I also realize I'm still within a 12-month warranty and I may take it to a local shop and have them do a full review of everything to assure that we're good to go!

Update: I am still under warranty, dropping it off at the local power shop and letting them do their thing. Hoping to drop it off this evening, I really doubt there's anything major going on...it's probably paranoia! Updates to follow in the coming days, guessing 4-5 days until I get some news.

This is exactly what I think he is describing.
I have to agree, 6-8 mins isn’t long.
Hoping that is the case, however, taking it into the shop here within the next hour or two. They will have it for a few days to check it out, if all checks out well then I'm a happy guy. If they find something that's not right, they'll address it under warranty.
I am really looking for a good health check before the turbo kit comes in, as I want to assure we're at 100% health and ready before I add the snail.
Aren’t you supposed to upgrade some internals before you add the turbo?
Is it possible that there is some kind of oil or fluid sitting in the muffler?

If you ran the balls off it for a hour and it comes back smoking then i would worry.If the waters good and the oil good i would not worry.Youll have enought to worry about when you add the turbo.

It's not like the stock pistons crack or anything once you add boost. Lol
Update:
Shop stating compression is good, nothing standing out as an issue. Cylinders look great (scoped it I am guessing?), they mentioned they still have their hash marks from when they were honed out from the factory.
The only issue they found was excess fuel in the exhaust, which they believe is due to my PV3 tune. The tune is one for increased RPM, the fan turns on sooner, etc, it's just for a Talon with an air intake. I will revert this back to the stock tune until my turbo kit comes in (mid/end of April).
They also found my air filter was missing 3 bolts, they state they probably came loose and fell outwards (not into the engine or they would have seen it in the cylinder scope).
They're going to handle two recalls, one was to replace the caliper bolts, the other was something with the air intake. I should be able to pick it up Friday, awaiting parts currently.

Dude once you get away from stock everything changes.God only knows what your fuel curve is.Your 10 min warm up could change to 20 min.Now you are into tuning.
