How did engine eat oil ?? any body know ?

I'll have a wild stab in the dark here.

Some Turbo engines do burn a little oil.
I must say though that my scoob doesn't at all, but before the scoob I had a 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo and that drank the stuff like petrol.
Even in the owner's manual it said something like "expect engine to use 0.5l oil per 1000km!"

So you've probably either got a leak or it's being burnt away.

Other than that can't help without more info.
Sorry

LOL @ DaveT-S

Oil consumption may go up on a worn engine as the oil control seals wear. If the engine hasn't been run-in properly or maintained particularly well it may suffer from this increased oil consumption. Raising boost pressure may also increase oil consumption, IIRC.
