Oil viscosities and Consumption

When I give my car a bit of boost (say above 7 or 8Psi), it starts chewing through the oil. With the current oil I have (10W/50 Synth), it hardly makes any signs that it's actually burning or consuming oil. Now we're moving out of the cool months and back into slightly warmer weather, I will change my oil for a thicker viscosity (like 10W/30 or something similar). My question is, will a thicker oil viscosity give out any signs that it's being consumed, over a thinner viscosity oil?
The reason why it's being consumed is that the ring gaps/clearances aren't right on the Arias pistons for a 3S-GTE. I'm not the only one with a 3S-GTE and Arias pistons with this problem either.
