Light smoke in boost.
If your a/f is in the 11.5- or richer range at wide open throttle it's likely to smoke, the smoke usually thins out with rpm a bit. That amount usually increases the more fuel there is, the blue trails after wide open throttle runs are usually more attributed to pcv. If you can ride behind the car have someone drive by on the throttle you should be able to tell my smell what the smoke is generated from oil or fuel. Also keep an eye on oil levels, and yes it's pretty normal for an x to consume a little oil. Also keep an eye on it at startup, if it's the turbo (which I highly doubt) it will often smoke a little on statup.
My X burns no oil right now.
Yes the smoke comes as a large puff after going WOT then dissipates as you get higher in the revs. Even at 11.5-11.7 my car still blows plenty of smoke.
Strictly burnt fuel though

Every X I've seen smokes. I didn't think mine did either, till I let my wife drive it and she was getting gnarly with it and I was behind her. Definitely smokes @ WOT. Turbo back
