Problems!!! NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!

Hey guys! I drive a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro B7 2.0T. Currently it has been down for several months. We have tried so many things. A week ago I brought it to a shop owner that I trust for a very long time. Every time I try to start it doesn't want to start normally, I have to hold down the gas pedal. While starting it doesn't make all the lights blink on the dashboard like a regular faulty ECM would. Once it starts thick clouds of white smoke comes out from the tailpipe. It stays running. While driving it would just continuously blow the white smoke. Acceleration would have timing issues. The car has 120,000 miles on it. After he teared into the vehicle trying to find what's wrong with it he believes. He thought it would be the ignition control module. After doing a little more research I found that their is no such part in these cars since the late 90's. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue. Anyone? Does anyone have a vag com scanner in the northern Virginia area?

I posted this in the other thread.

What has been done?
Has the engine been overheated? Usually white exhaust smoke is associated with burning off coolant.
Has the timing belt and water pump been replaced? Should have been done around 105K miles.
If the car hasn't run well in a while then charge up the battery to better be able to diagnose the issues.

I had the car taken to several different people. First person told me it was my oil pump and feed line clogged up, as well as my rear main seals are blown. He said I might as well have replaced the whole engine and be done with it. I didn't want to do that.

Then I took it to another mechanic and he said that the ignition control module is failing. I looked it up to purchase the part and everywhere said that my motor hasn't had one since 1999...so I am kind of lost there.

I had several other guys tell me that the turbo is faulty which when they explained it to me it made sense from all the symptoms that is occurring.
