850 turbo- no "cat" question

I bought this car, runs great, but the cat has been removed. Other than the enviornmental problems (no cat required in Fl) is there anything I should do to adjust or compensate?

Easy fix for smoking 850 turbo

Most easy fixes I hear about....bomb out..not this one..it's a miracle. My 95 850 (195K) turbo for over a year would intermittenly smoke like a Hollywood Fog Generator.
