That's what I was getting at. More likely with a used turbo than a new one though. But it could still happen, that's why we have defect warranties.

Here's my thoughts:
If it never used any oil before the turbo install, and you actually were missing 3 quarts in 10 miles, then it has to be one of 2 things.

1) The turbo was feeding its oil to the engine(either intake or exhaust side, usually intake side).

2) The engine oil was never actually full at the beginning of the 10 miles.
