Haven't re-checked compression yet. I'm going to drive the car in 3rd
this week (2nd under 35mph) keeping the rpms above 3500-4000 (got some
interstate driving to do) and rid it of the carbon. Maybe Thursday
evening I can re-check the compression. I'll also try to check the rear
of the turbo then too. Meanwhile, I have a bowling tournament today and
tomorrow that'll keep me busy. 2nd largest in the nation, only nationals
is bigger.

The things you're doing can't hurt but with the oil consumption
figures you mention there should be something real obvious. Have you
cleaned the engine and checked for fresh oil cascading over it yet?
You may improve power and economy with "new" injectors and carbon
can cause rings to stick. I still think you have a major leak, which
may be the turbo if you're not seeing pooled oil under the car or oil
coating the undercarriage.
Have you re-checked compression? Sorry if you mentioned all this
recently, I was in Manhattan working most of the week and deleted
several hundred messages on my return.
