Default I think I am burning oil...

My oil level seems to be dropping in a period of time..

it ususally goes down faster if i boost more.. i think...

but i haven't seen any white smoke coming out of my exhaust..

maybe it only happens when i boost??

plz help
and tell me what to do to check...

does it sound like it's the rings??

i checked my compression not too long ago, it was all good

help plz

thanks

Welcome to the dark side. Before boost=no burning, after boost=3/4 of a quart between changes now.

The more you boost, the more you will burn. You have a whole new turbine there now, and that thing is heating the hell out of the oil burning it. Check your rings though. If you're not getting any smoke, and it's not a significant amount between chanes, I wouldn't worry too much.

[EDIT]

Do you have any leaks in your feed/return lines? I had a tiny one when I first started boosting, and it scared the sh*t out of me seeing my oil level drop that fast. Got under the car, and found my feed line the culprit.
