Not sure why someone would think your exhaust setup had anything to do with a little smoke lol.. It's not out of the norm since these cars consume some oil. Just keep an eye on it.

I've had the same thing since going Catless. Mine looks and smells like oil burning, but after 2000 miles since I first saw the smoke...oil level is still at max. At this point it's more embarrassing than concerning.

Coincidental.. Your car isn't going to produce smoke because you removed the cat. A catalytic converter might aid in burning oil before exiting the exhaust pipe, producing less smoke, but most likely you were burning oil before the removal and didn't realize it.

I still have the factory cat, but I was behind a catless buddy of mine when he was racing and he has pure 800 and ecutek, and everytime he floored it, I thought his turbo went Kaboom, a lot of smoke, he said its normal, I guess some cars just burn more oil than others, some other cars local to me that are catless I don't really see any smoke.

lol happened to me today. Happened with normal mode (no sport), at low speed and was a lot of smoke, just once. I have catless and Ecutek E50 Marin Tune.
I was concerned, then measured the oil level and it is full. Could be just an excess of fuel?
Also it does not happen in sport and the outside temp is warm, 35 °C.

I just had that happened to my car today. Is this just normal with the b58. Would a catch can work for this issue?

FWIW, I think there is an inherent flaw with a bottom mounted/ stock placement turbo. I just moved to a top mount pushing more boost than ever.. checked the charge pipe and it's bone dry. (Never saw that even on a bone stock setup)

Has anyone figured anything out with this? I just installed a catless downpipe and OTS BM3 93 tune. Within about 3 weeks I started to have this smoke problem. Very intermittent. Seems to only happen when cruising in normal mode. Huge cloud though, right when I come to a stop.

And there in lies a clue. Overfilled engine oil. During stopping the oil in the sump surges forward and causes excessive splash onto the front cylinders and if the oil level is too high the oil control and second ring can't deal with it totally and you get some oil in the combustion chamber.
See if the issue is more prevalent with hard stops/braking than slowly coming to a stop. If it does drain some engine oil and see what happens.
