Oil Burning ?

[SherbertRocket]

My car burns a little oil sometimes? From Houston to San Antonio I might burn between a 1/4 and 1/2 a quart sometimes. Is this a problem or normal? My mods are ion fmic, injen cai, s-pipe back 3 in exhaust, light weight flywheel, and a stronger clutch. Oh yeah and I used to have a manual boost controler on but i never ran higher then 10 or 11 psi usually ran about 9psi.

have you looked inside your intercooler pipes for excessive oil?
have you noticed any performance loss?

Take a good look at, your oil return line on your turbo also....

ok, well when I get some time right after I am done with finals I will take off the intercooler and check it out and I will look at the oil return line as well. If there is oil in the inter cooler is that usually because the pcv is defective or a blown seal on the turbo? And thank you for your responses

Oil in the pipes could also come from the crankcase vent tube connected to the intake.
