White smoke is coolant.
Blue smoke is oil.
Black smoke is fuel.

White and Blue smoke look similar. Have you had a chance to smell the smoke. Coolant will have a sweet smell, oil will smell like.... burned oil.

Nooo

This happened just at high gear and low rpm


Coolant level is good all the time

Also oil level is good

have you tested it to make sure? it might be a very minor leak under high load. does the smoke stick around or go away pretty fast like when you start a car in the cold?

Just for few seconds and gone when rpm go up

Very unlikely to be a tune related problem unless it was black fuel smoke


Smoke is most likely oil, but possibly coolant


Coul be turbo seals
Catch can routing issue
PCV vavle or check valve issue
Rings valve guides worn broken
Overfilled oil


Blocked or restricted turbo oil return






Check turbo intake for oil



Overoiled air filter




Probably a few others


It only takes a small amount of oil to see smoke might take a fair bit of driving before you see levels drop.
