Sounds a lot to me as well - i have a modded 03 WRX blobeye running around 340 bhp, and it uses about 1 litre for around 600 miles. It has got 86000 miles on the clock though.

That is a lot mate mine barely budges from oil change to oil change on a modded Blob STI. I'd check for viseable leaks first mate.

Bull. How many miles has your car covered and what oil do you use/ Does the car have FSH? My car used .5 litre every 1000 miles from 12k. At 22k, turbo was replaced and consumption has been zero since. No smoke, poor running etc, just a worn bearing.

I've only done the oil change 2weeks ago thats whats making me think theres somthing wrong maybe piston ring?? Theres no leaks, no smoke just runs with abit of hesitation since i put standard dump valve back on runs ok tho. I use Shell helix ultara extra fully synth 5w-40 or 5w-30 oil and the car has done 51k. The car has fsh i do a oil change in between.
