---DOESNT MATTER ANYMORE CAR IS SOLD HAD BHG 3rd Time!
Update: Did a COLD compression test, 1,2,3,4,6 where 150-155psi. #5 was 180-185, why would it be higher? Stuck valve till it warms up? Would that explain the "miss sound" the first few seconds? Also here is a video I took today of the exhaust. Dead cold start, hasnt been started in about 3 1/2 days. No smoke in the begining, wouldn't it smoke right off the bat if it was bhg? Hope the video helps and the new update.

Previous and still accurate description of problem:
This is alot of info hoping someone can help me figure something out. Okay so recently my car has been burning/using coolant. I have a 7MGTE rebuilt everything basically, even a reman head. I used a 3 layer metal headgasket with ARP bolts. 10,000 miles later on the new motor, I'm having the following issue. My car burns coolant when I mostly first start it, or rev it pretty high you smell it a little bit, not noticeable at idle or under regular driving. So like any Supra owner, I did a cylinder pressure test after its been running so consider this a WARM test. 1 & 6 had 180psi, and 2-5 had 185psi according to my friends pressure tester. Now with a different pressure tester about 3-4 months ago, I tested it and it was 145psi across the board, so it got higher? So since my turbo is the oldest thing on my motor, friends told me my turbo could be using coolant. So to test, I by-passed the coolant line to the turbo and looped it so it isn't getting any for testing purposes. Needless to say, I still smell coolant even after driving say 30 miles total, so I'm going to put it back the way it was since I guess its not using coolant. I am however pretty sure my turbo is using oil, but my oil level never goes down which scares me cuz I thought the turbo was putting coolant into my oil. Both my anti freeze and oil look 100% normal with no trace of mixing in either fluid. I took off my upper intake tube and theres a trail of oil running thru it, which also recently got worse, I guess the turbo is using more oil. Keep in mind my turbo came off a donor car with 230k so I have no idea of the mileage on it. Someone told me I need a catch can, which I will do soon. Another major problem is when I took the plugs out for the pressure test, 4 outta 6 where covered in oil. And because of that, my car misfires when I first start it either from a cold start, or after having it off for 3-5+ mins and I gotta rev it up to like 2k till it fires on all cylinders again. The valve covers seem to be not leaking into the valley, as the valley seems very dry and I recently did new valve cover gaskets when I checked the headbolts for retourqe since it was a new head. After rev it and clear out the oil on the plugs it idles PERFECTLY at 650 RPMs and drives normally. My car never over heated, nor does it now. It runs at 185 with a 195 thermostat, nice and cold. Now if the turbo was using coolant, it woulda stopped burning it when I looped the line so it didnt get any, yet I still smell coolant and my pressure in my cylinders seems okay. I'm so confused and I'm looking for any help possible because I put so much time and money into this car I would hate to get rid of it for something stupid and I love driving it and it's my only car. I will try almost any legit idea. Also feel free to ask me any questions to help you out to further diagnose my problem. Thank you so much for reading and enjoy your Supra!
