Ah! I didn't see the 's' in your original post - you're right, they're all non-turbos.
Unfortunately, that rules out the possibility of the turbo burning off oil, and pretty much leaves something not right in the engine. I would certainly start with a compression test (wet and dry), and then possibly remove the valve cover for a visual inspection. Make sure you don't have any stuck or misbehaving lifters, go from there. If you can, pay a local shop to do a leakdown test - that will help narrow down if it's the bottom or top end.
Timing on these cars is fixed - factory spec is 14 degrees BTDC at idle, but my experience is that ~12 degrees is often what you see.
