I have a freshly build motor and it is burning a ton of oil. I had it running for maybe a hour and a half and its burned a qt of oil. The car isn't leaking any on the garage floor and the spark plugs are clean, so i don't believe its my rings or valve stems. I'm starting to think that the turbo seals might be bad? I'm doing a compression test later today and pulling the down-pipe to see if oil is in it, but any other advice?
Fresh build and burning a lot of oil

You sure its burning it? Try topping it off again and run it again, see if it dissapears again. If you have an aftermarket cooler, maybe it was just filling up the system. Also make sure you wait about 5 mins after you shut off the motor to check the oil level.
any smoke out the exhaust? have you driven it at all? you'll know if the turbo seals are gone when you pull up and a smoke cloud passes you... (thats what my ct26 did when it went anyway)
Could be, have you used that turbo before? Just making sure but you did stagger the oil rings right?

I am getting smoke out of the exhaust but not enough to engulf the car I tends to see a good amount then i let off and am rolling up to a stop sign.

I double and triple checked the oil rings and their spacing so I'm really hoping they are not the problem
