Ok, sleeves sounds like a doable option. But not the best way?

I have 100k miles on dry sleeves, so a very good option IMHO

I am gonna let it depend on the cost, sleeve or just put it back together and save to get it fixed. High oil consumption is because of the new turbo i bought from broadfoot racing... Way to much play on the turbo bearings.
