Normal if it's remapped to run rich.

Would be a Revotechnik map

Not spoke to them for a while but I know they started doing their own maps as well.

The smoke is not caused by the EGR.

In VERY simplistic terms, the easiest way to increase the power on a Diesel engine is to put more fuel in the engine. When the amount of fuel exceeds the amount of air available, soot is generated because of the unburnt diesel fuel.

So, at full power, your remap is adding too much fuel and your car smokes as a result. As has already been pointed out, it's completely normal as long as the smoke is black. A tweak to the map to just slightly reduce the fuelling at full throttle might make it smoke less, but custom maps are more expensive than standard maps.
