Well, I just got done installing my turbo upgrade and took it out for a ride. I got home and checked the oil and noticed a foamy grossness on my dipstick. I was worried so I took it to the dealer. He took one look at my car and voided my warrenty. He also said that the foamy stuff was blowby from a broken apex'i seal and now has my car in the shop waiting for the new engine to come in. This is going to cost me 6 grand plus labor.
The good thing is that the dealer said that he can fix my gas mileage issue. He said that this is an easy fix that has been around for 6 years. Apparently, the PVC valve gets clogged very easily and sends the motor into a gimp mode that makes the motor inject oil into the rotors. This extra oil requires more gas to wash the oil off the rotor housings.
Will update when I get my car back
