With that milage I would vote for burning oil. The other thing is, I know you are planing to run boost, If you are not, you are using too high an Octane rating.

Higher octane ratings will leave carbon in the motor and exhaust due to it not all burning thru

well im boosting now...but the carbon was there before the s/c install...hmm..maybe i should thoroughly clean it and see if it comes back now that im on 93
