It was a very safe oil additive because I know some can cause more damage then good. Anyways since I used that, the oil burning stopped. There is a brownish mark on top of the turbo. I dont know if it was there before or not but it looks similar to when you burn sugar, its like a blackish hard spot almost looks like tar.... or oil treatment. I dont know, you guys will have to look at it. It might have come from the oil feed line, i hope thats what it is.

Check to make sure the turbo inlet hose is properly attached to the turbo... I know Cody had his come loose at the last autocross and he was burning some blow-by oil that was in the intake track on the turbo itself.
Also, if you've got a blown turbo, I've got a stock WRX turbo or a SBR GT30-10 I'll sell you cheap.
