I was driving down the A34 yesterday and had the chance to push on with the Sport Response button.. first time I've used it since buying the car a couple of months ago. After coming off the throttle I saw a very large cloud of white smoke behind me. Is this normal, is it just fuel being burnt off or could it be some more worrying. In normal driving I have noticed anything like this before - Thanks

Sounds like oil smoke to me.
is that expected or bad?

Could indicate top end wear...valve guides etc. Keep an eye on how much oil it uses over a couple of thousand miles.
It does sound like a turbo issue. The clip attached shows similar albeit on startup. But this was also a low mileage car. There seems to be quite a bit of chatter on forums about turbo failures on .2 non capital 'T' cars, all being covered under warranty.

watch the oil level like a hawk
The if possible get someone you know to drive behind you, blue smoke oil, black smoke fuel and white smoke coolant (or moisture when cold)
Good luck
