There are a few things that happened from what I can piece together right now.

Typical oil burning in turbo car + bad PCV valve causing valve cover gasket seep + my neglect. I really don't know at this point though. I don't think the tune had anything to do with it because at the boost I was running and what my wideband was showing, it was a fine AFR. It might be something else too I don't know yet. Ideally I don't want to drop an engine in so if it's just a bearing or just a rod, I might be able to get away with a cheaper repair. If I can build the engine for the same price as swapping in a stock one that's definitely the route I'm going, not to run more power but for safety's sake.
