HELP, burning through oil bottles

[EddieK12]

2010 S4 6MT. Yes, high miles on my car 180K.. I'm burning through 1 quart every 200 miles. It's getting really annoying to keep adding oil, especially since I'm putting in VW approved 5W-40.

I've replaced the PCV valve, no difference. Is it possible for a worn supercharger to cause oil consumption? Am I looking at piston rings or valve seals? The only time I see smoke from my exhaust, is under WOT usually at higher revs, puffs a nice big cloud of dark smoke. No smoke on deceleration or at idle.

Some mechanical input will be appreciated as I had plans for the car with modifications.

how early in mileage did the consumption start?

hmm. on one hand, 180k is like whoa! I wonder, and this may be totally crazy & not cost effective but you could potentially buy a used 3.0t engine and just put that sucker in there. I see a 2010 for sale for $5k on eBay w/ 59k on the odometer. Just looking towards the future, i mean, idk that's a lot of miles on her. Has she been real reliable up until this point?

Nice job hitting 180k!

I would get a compression/leakdown test done.
