Default Turbo stuff

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while...theres been a whole lot goin on lately. Anywho, the turbos been up and running for a while now and its freaking awesome. Ive been havin a couple problems tho. Whenever the engine is warming up, it burns a buttload of oil, but stops burning it when its completely warmed up. I haven't tested the compression yet, so its possible it could be the piston rings. Also, I did a fairly hard pull up to about 90 the other day, and right when i let out of 4th gear the engine stalled. It started back up just fine, but it scared the s*** out of me when the engine cut off at 90mph. Other than that, I havent really found any other problems except that I have a Blitz turbo timer that i cant hook up because they dont sell a harness for civics. I'll get videos up eventually

Is the oil getting cooked in the engine or the turbo?

i would try some kind of fuel manegment unit to get some more fuel into the combustion chamber and i would try and retard your timing a few degrees. Also what kind of oil are you using?

Call up blitz and get a universal harness. Maybe ebay?
