Also depends on how tight the turbos are, how much oil they burn. I really never

had a problem with burning oil on my FD. Just check the oil atleast once a week, as you should with any car.

Awesome, I really appreciate the help guys. I am having some problems getting this rx though.... I have an Audi A4 now, and its awesome. Classy, AWD, 5spd.... the whole deal. And its REALLY reliable. I am not sure if I can deal with an FD while still at school. I mean i have all the resources in the world when I am home (lift, air tools, ect) But what am I getting into down the road. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks again for your time.
