i have a 05 srt4 and my car goes though a qrt to qrt and a half of oil in two to three day. it has a brand new turbo on it that is stock. so what could be the problem.

Take it to a mechanic. 2 quarts don't just disappear. You'd have to be creating a smoke screen bigger than batman not to notice where your oil is going.

Like he said, if you are burning it you must have a huge smoke screen out back when you drive. That much oil disappering is just plain wrong

. If it is leaking on the engine you should smell it burning. The only other thing I can think of is that you are sucking a ton of oil into your throttle body through the PCV system. Take your cold side pipe off the intercooler and see if it is filled with oil. If not, check to see if you have a puddle of oil on the ground after parking it.

yeah, sounds like blow-by getting sucked into the intake, (this happened to me right before the motor blew)
you probably have cracks in the ring lands and oil is getting blown through the pcv and breather on the valve cover. My catchcan filled up quickly and the filter I had on the breather was soaked in oil.
