Sorry to hear your still having a problem. Have you popped off any intercooler piping to see if there is oil film on it or in the intercooler itself or on the throttle body? Do you smell any burned oil smell like just generally around the engine? Are you running a catch can set up?

So there is definitely a puff of blue/white smoke but only when I get on it, I had a friend follow me (since someone put the most darkest rear tint on the window), and he did say there is a mix of black, white and blue smoke when I get on it and then smell of oil.

How likely is that it comes out the turbo, I was going to take it off this weekend but other things got in the way, so I wasn't able.

I did that previously, before Engine #2, and they were all dry so was the intake manifold after removing the Engine #1, valves seemed clean on both intake and exhaust, Buschur did compression on the heads and they came out fine.

I do smell a little bit of burned oil when getting on it, casual driving does not bring much of that smell.

Judging that Engine #1 had the same consumption like Engine #2, I will assume that intake, ic pipes etc. are clean, they were checked twice already but on Engine #1.

I have no catch-can setup, just the breather filter on the head port.

Could this be the engine? I mean hell, second engine and issue persists I'm kind of leaning on Turbo now, what do you think?

Awww, sorry to hear that, mine didn't get to that point as I was sure it was the engine's fault, now on Buschurs engine and I'm still eating through the same amount of oil as before.

I have Manely Pistons if you want them, just about 4k miles on them and they cleaned up nice just like new

Bought a relatively low mile Evo 9 turbo from a friend, swapping it today to see if it'll continue eating through oil.

I put on the new turbo, but I didn't have the right oil drain gasket that goes on the turbo side and I have a leak there, that drips directly on the hot DP, waiting for the gaskets to show up so I can fix it, however I can't say yet whether the consumption continues or not.

The turbo I bought, came with the o2 housing and the manifold, so I changed the o2 housing as well, as the previous owner hacked it up bad.

Just fixed the turbo oil drain leak, now it's time to put some miles and see if it was it!

Looks like the oil consumption is gone after changing the Turbo. Weird thing is that this turbo never shown it was oil hungry. I'm a happy camper again. Completing the car and heading to the track!
