ever since i installed my turbo i notice that i have to add up to a half quart of oil every week and a half or so. when i drove from utah to cali i had to add a full quart each way. is this normal for oil to be consumed like this?

Thats sounds like it's burning a lot of oil. I would check your spark plugs and see how they are doing. I rarely ever burn up any oil on my turbo setup. Are boosting all the time when driving around?

i pull my plugs numerous...........NUMEROUS........ times a week........none there. im not blowing any black smoke.......... nothing.

What kind of oil are you using? and what weight?

dirtySOHC's

mobil tri syn, 5/30

dumb question, but is it leaking it under boost anywhere?

nah.....there are no signs wat so ever of anything leaking. i like to keep my engine bay extra clean so i would know if there is anything out of the ordinary.

damn, thats gotta get expensive adding synthetic oil all the time hope you figure out whats up

dirtySOHC's

the price of it doesnt matter.....its not so much that i gotta cry about it. i just hate the fact that i gotta add oil all the time. if this a sign of something going wrong in my setup i wanna figure it out as quick as possible.

i started to think turbo seals but its brand *** new and i think my return line flows very good. i took of my piping to the turbo off and no oil in there. i wanna take of my DP to see if its there, but if it was blown seals i would be blowing a mass amount of black smoke.

can oil in the return line burn fast enough with the heat of the DP? might be stupid but thats all i can think of................ugh i dont know i have heat wrap around my line too so i think that lowers the heat a bit
