I still have not been able to fix the oil burning problem. The only thing I have left to do is replace the valve seals on the driver's side. I have deleted my PCV system completely, sealed all the intake rocker bolts, and run compression and leakdown tests...and replaced valve seals on passenger side, nothing has helped. If the driver's valve seals don't fix it I'm going to try to talk TSP into replacing the heads. I don't know where else the oil could be coming from.
I noticed that the oil feed and drain don't look like they are at 12 and 6 oclock. That could cause a bit of oil to push into the turbine housing and make it seem like it's burning oil. Also be sure to check that all the fittings, hoses, etc on the oil drain are 1/2 ID at the least. A restricted drain will cause the same symptoms.

Looks sweet Chris 
The only thing I might have tried to do different would have been to have the oil return to the pan above normal oil level, but the turbo is high enough from there, that it will probable drain fine.
PS, I think I have about a 15# spring

I basically never ran it with the cut-out open so I dunno. I was going to try back-back runs at the track and dyno.
On the evap in the downpipe, you can screw that check valve out and put a pipe cap on it and it will look cleaner.
I had the drain line 2-3" higher but it should drain just fine where you have it.
