Default early oil breakdown normal?

Hi guys,
I have custom forged built motor with vf39, stage2 mods(20psi, only downpipe, ebcs, Crawford v2 AOS) atm.
whenever, whichever oil, I change, it is burning relatively normal until approx. 1500km, after that, oil is burning faster.
Engine has 60k+ km, and normal driving, shifting point is 3k rpm, rarely see redline, but sees boost half of the time when I drive. bearing clearance is same as stock, no oil sign on hot side of the turbo.
butt dyno feels always good, no smoke on start up/idle, no smoke when oil filler cap opened, only feel pulse.

I have so far used rotellar T6 (5W40), Motul 8100 (5W40), and GC(0W30) for winter, and they are all going down relatively fast.

Should I bump up the oil weight?

I maybe missing some details, but any inputs are welcome.
