Default Is my engine dead?

Hey guys!

So, heres the scenario: I turbo'd my S about 10,000kms ago. All professionally done on my MY02, inline pro stage 1, hondata, ID1000's, 70mm exhaust, clutch, K&N filter on the turbo, etc... tuned to 9lbs low boost, and 14 lbs 'scramble boost' when I wanna beat the big V8 cars. I only run 94 octane gas.

So My car burns through 1 liter of oil every fill up if I am raping it all over, but uses hardly any oil just putting around town (it rains a lot where Im from).

The oil smells strongly of gas when its good and warm and Ive been boosting (major cause for concern).

I did a compression test/leakdown with a very reputable shop and the results are 160 across all cylinders and the leakdown showed no major leaks, only a 2% loss in one of the valves.

I had to route my catch can to the intake because after I get the car good and warmed up there is TONNES of blow-by in the engine bay, which used to go straight through my vented hood and into the cabbin (just the fumes go to the intake, there are a couple of filters and the catchcan getting most of the oil vapor)... after the car is warm, it looks like an exhaust there is so much exhaust coming out of the catch can (obviously a very bad sign)

I took it for a full 5000kms before changing the oil last week and the tech took me aside and showed me that there was a shit load of yellow goo pouring out of my catch can when he was draining it.

My tuner tells me my engine is still good it just has a lot of blow-by. To be its obvious that the car will need a new engine at some point, but My question to you guys is how long do you guys think I have? (speculation welcome)

Any thoughts/ideas welcome! Im hoping to drive the car for 3-4 more summers as I am still doing a masters degree for a few yrs and dont want to spend $5k on a used engine/rebuild before Im done!
Thanks guys!
