[urq] Oil consumption with new turbo

[Maurits Jonkergouw]

Just checked: no oil coating, no smoke... The only other thing that was 
changed after the rebuild is they adjusted the tappets.

Before the rebuild it had <150 BHP, how much it is now I don't know, but it 
has definately more power. Of course, this extra power does stress the 
engine more than it did before, butt still... 2000 km or 500 km, that's a 
hugh difference! Perhaps they put in a different brand and lighter oil, say 
0W40, and this is the reason? I will ask them.

If it's not a bad turbo rebuild or wrong oil weight, what else could it be?

Thanks again.

Regards,
Maurits
