Ya, I would assume the oil consumption problem attributed to excess wear early on. The blower would have added additional strain.

I would def put it back to stock before you take it in. Most dealers will claim aftermarket parts as the cause without even doing any analysis.

GL. Let us know.

Everyone knows that super/turbo charging wears and weakens oem rings. Hope you are ethical and admit to previous modifications!

How much oil are you going though? 3k oil changes and "hardly anything comes out"? So 4 qrts in 3,000 miles?

No, the oil consumption occured way before the supercharger. Like i had said, at the time i didnt know some of these cars had that problem. And my G at the time was like 3 yrs old with 39,000 miles when i found out. I cant really remember exactly how much it was consuming, but when it hit 3,000mile mark i did the oil change my self every time. The amount of oil that drained out had to be around 3qrtz. This G was never my daily so it was kinda difficult for me to remember. Thanks to this sight, many came out forward and unveiled they had the same issue, so i wasnt the only vqde that was going through this.
