Once again, I look towards those wiser than I for assistance, and I thank you in advance.
So here is the issue:
I've noticed an increase in blow by and I also noticed an increase in oil level depletion (I can't say burning up because I'm sure it's not getting burned).
I've added a turbo to my truck (link in my signature) and made some alterations:

here is the new issue:
I've lost about 1.5-1.8L of oil in 4000km of driving through blow by. I've figured out it's not burned up because the glow plugs have a normal amount of carbon deposit and the underside of my truck is very oily.
now I've been running the truck with 13lbs of boost for a while and that's when I've noticed the increase in blow by. I've tested my compression today and it's the same as it was when I reinstalled the turbo and increased the boost. So the compression is 420,410, 420,420. If the rings were dying the compression would be lower. So what do you think is causing the extra blow by and oil consumption?
If the blow by is casued by the increased boost that would have an effect on oil pressure (if it's pushing by the rings and causing that) but the pressure is normal and holding steady (I'm using an isspro guage not the factory one), so this is where I'm confused and wondering what the hell is going on. I've turned the boost down to 10 and will drive it like that for a bit to see what happens but I would love some ideas/opinions/suggestions.
Thanks guys.
