After realizing i gotta put a couple quarts in between oil changes. I figured i might start saving for a engine rebuild. I'm only at 170,000m though but i burn oil like no other... Is there any other way to fix that or am i just stupid trying to believe there is a other way.

I did not bore anything out, just honed the cylinder walls. Reason being that I wanted to use my existing pistons, if I was going to bore it out I'd have to put bigger pistons in and if I was going to buy bigger pistons I'd have bought Arias pistons or something extreme like that. I've already spent way too much money on the turbo setup and IMO my pistons will be just fine and the price of bigger pistons outweighs the gains. If the upgraded rods were readily available at the time I might have went with those though.
