abnormal oil consumption
Ok guys,i have the following "prob":since i changed from 10/30 to 20/50 i noticed a great difference in oil consumption.And to be more specific,if i drive the car hard,i have to add 150-200grams of oil ever 200km(almost double quantity than b4).Has anyone experienced the same,or is it something wrong(omp maybe)?I don't see any kind of smoke from the tailpipe,and the hose going to the ic has no oil in it(neither the ic).Only the hose with the bov has a slight film of oil(normal) so i believe that its not a turbo problem(but there is some oil inside the actuators)...Any experiences welcomed :-)

Ex fd *****
My fd's oil consumption went up to 1qt (us) in 250/miles, caused by leaking Turbo seals (compressor side) w/o apriciable smoking from the exhaust - check at the lower IC hose connection for a puddle of oil in the bottom of the IC, as that is where the oil will collect if your turbos are leaking into the intake.

my oil consumption has gone up as well.I suppose my primary turbo is leaking the oil.I checked the compressor wheel and it has some play in it.Plus I have oil residue inside the intercooler pipes.No smoke or anything.Just this.Am I right about the turbo? also does this mean that the turbo is about to take a crap ?
