[s-cars] Burning Oil

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

That's what I was going to say, also.
Cody, have someone drive behind you and see what comes
out of the tailpipe at WOT.  If you see blue smoke at
WOT only, it's probably the turbocharger. 
Garrettitis, aka Audi oil pressure going through a
garrett turbo almost always = burning oil.

Just carry a gallon of Mobil1 with you at all times.
