Fill it and run it a few miles then check it before you start throwing parts at it.
If it is not leaking it from the outside and it is not crossing over to the cooling system then must be going out the tailpipe . Are you sure you have no leaks from head gasket,crank seal's,timing cover,valve covers,power steering/vacume pump, or out the breather tube (crankcase vent) ?
To burn up that amount of oil i would think a cracked piston or rings or the turbo seals are long gone either one should make a very big blue smoke trail with that amount of oil loss. Look into your exhaust and see if it looks wet or oily ? Check for a large amount of blowby with the engine running.
