Car has 156k miles and has been well cared for mechanically. Car is very solid and runs very well and is very enjoyable to drive. Very quiet engine, drips no oil, all engine seals were just checked, yes even the trans was pulled, all looked excellent and dry, turbo was rebuilt 20k miles ago. Car had a leak that was fixed by dealer, was at oil cooler lines at base of oil filter, only needed tightening, but that's why the trans was pulled, looking for that leak.
Recently had a sudden loss of engine oil that we cannot find an explanation for. Car was driven around locally a little just after buying, and then driven about 455 miles to Atlanta, oil level was topped up before leaving, getting about 24mpg. The day after the trip down the oil was checked and was 1/3 qt down, did not bother to top it up, drove the car around town about 25miles total over a 24hour period, kinda heavy footed. So on this next day the oil is checked and the dip stick is dry, it takes 2.5 qts to fill  . One day past that point, another 25miles or so and no further sign of oil use.
There has been no smoke out the tail, the car still shows no leaks where it's been parked. Anyone experience an oil loss like this? Any ideas?
Aside from that is there a way to adjust the boost? It doesn't seem to be boosting quite as high as it could/should. Also is there any source for door panels for this car, being a two door? Did this year come with a water cooled turbo or has mine been upgraded?
Thanks in advance
