Default White smoke question

I have an 04 STI with stage 2 tune. I sometimes have white smoke from the exhaust during idle but if I turn my AC on it goes away. Also if I drive with my AC on then sit at idle it doesn't smoke. I have no loss of power, no weird noises, and good data logs. Anyone know what could cause the smoke to stop when the AC is on? Maybe the idle change when AC is on? Thanks

If your coolant level isn't dropping, then it's just condensation in your exhaust system burning off.

I did some research and read that. Sometimes at idle without the AC on the smoke seems more than condensation.

Well, is it still "white smoke" (as posted)... or is it blue smoke, or black smoke?

Yes it's white but seems like a lot of smoke for condensation. Anything else cause white smoke?
