HELP!!! Lots of White Smoke!!!! 900 1993

I am about to lose my mind... 2 weeks ago, my wife's 940 turbo starts to put out LOTS of white and blue smoke, my dad and I do some research and decide that the head gasket is blown. So we replace it, no an impossible task, but it takes us 2 weeks. We finished this morning, the car starts right up, no problem, but the smoke returns within a few minutes. The car is running great, no overheating, no froth in the oil. We take another look and realize that the turbo is water cooled, so my question is, could the turbo be leaking water into the exhaust and that is causing the white smoke? if so, what is the proper course of action?

I need some help please! And to all those who posted messages for me about the head gasket replacement, THANKS! I could not have done it without you.
