Synthetic oil seems to be more prone to loss via blow by than regular oil. There is still the "jury out" thing on whether cars broken in with synthetic actually break in correctly. The loss is normal, IMO, if you drive agressively at all. I've seen it in two of my three cars.

...the BBK TB. Performance wise by itself my opinion is no. I have the 65 on my '01. The TB opening was actually larger than the intake. So it had to be opened up. So unless you do the same, it seems the intake is the restriction, not the TB.
