When i try to start up my car, it will go for a few seconds then die, or just straight out die, but when it is running, oil is being thrown everywhere. It drips out a lot underneath, and I shot probably a good quart or two of oil out my exhaust. When i took it to a shop, they said compression tests ran in the mid 130's, and that all seemed good, but that the turbo needs to be replaced. Could my oil pump/front case be bad also? What else is there that could be causing this? I had the stock 14b on the car, and I had to fill it up with oil every 10 miles on the road. I installed a t-25 turbo, and the car seemed to be even worse off than before. At least with my 14b, the car started, but now, the t-25 won't even allow start-up.
 
Pull the timing belt cover off, and inspect your oil pump shaft seal, and the crankshaft seal.
