The turbos look newer than the rest of the engine. There is a small cloud of smoke when I start it in the mornings. After I spool up the turbos and let off I can hear a whining hissing sound coming from the area of the turbos and a bitter, sweet smell of unburnt gas. I haven't notice this sound before. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any loss of power. The last time I change the oil was at about 2,500 miles. I'm waiting on a gasket for my down pipe. Any advise would be welcome.

Oil Usage
Some insight for you...In case you didn't know it, rotaries burn a slight amount of oil as a way to lubricate the seals on the rotors. This makes them like a 2-stroke in a sense, hence your oil consumption. I'd say a quart in between oil changes is not uncommon. Hope this helps.
