Check inside the hose to the IC if its full of oil (drippy wet not just damp-damp is normal) Then it is leaking from the turbo impeller bearing - otherwise may be bad rotor oil seals - Mine currently dump 1qt/380mi into my newly rebuilt engine
if it is not the impeller leaking - & is smoking it may be the turbine bearing leaking into the exhaust - this usually produces large amounts of bluish smoke

mine eats oil too
i noticed large amounts of smoke when i get above 5000rpms and let off on the gas or shift, hence letting off on the gas. it eats alot of oil if i'm above 5000 rpms, which of course is almost everytime i'm not in fifth gear.
is this a sign of the turbo bearing seal leaking, my turbo intake is dry as a bone and i've got great compression.
