Question Help! Drinking oil like gas

I did an oil change about 500 miles ago. my oil light came on two days ago so i added a quart of oil. I ran my car hard that evening. The next day i ran my car a little and the damn light came on again . I have intake and full exhaust ,and g-force comp, im also boostin 12 very accurately according to my a-vcr with a smooth curve. But i blow smoke like mad at high rpm. What could this be from. no weird sounds and no leeks in turbos I dont understand it!! could the guage be wrong i heard they are crap PLEASE HELP! Nate

check your coolant, your oil might be leaking through your seals = engine rebuild time

If you blow smoke at high RPM it is more than likely your turbos.
