Default Burning oil after going turbo

I never burned oil on my newly rebuilt engine before(has 8000 miles on it) which has forged pistons but after putting the turbo on im losing some oil, maybe 1/8 of a liter every 1000 mile, not that much, but is it normal to be burning oil, or some blow with a turbo(Boosting at 6.5) i dont have any blue smoke out of the tailpipe

yea same here i seem to be burning oil as well. i have no oil leaks and my motor stays super clean i can not find any oil leaks whatso ever but still my oil dissapears little by little. its weird it never did it before i think it is something called blow by where the oil gets blow past the piston rings during boost along with getting burned up. i dunno i am just guessing
