The turbo can also be a source of oil consumption on these engines. Ask me how I know.

Brian,
Funny you should bring that up. If I remember correctly I had a rebuilt turbo installed (turbo bearing was failing) around the time my oil consumption increased. How can you tell if the oil is going thru the turbo?
I have never checked, but my car is a late 1991 version. Is it possible I have the beefed up rods already installed?
Thank you.
