I did a test today at a buddy's house, I got the following results.

Cy 1 - 117
Cy 2 - 120
Cy 3 - 117
Cy 4 - 117

Now, these numbers are low - obviously - I was heart broken when I read other peoples results but started to see how they tested it to begin with.

My friend insisted on letting the car sit for 3 hours to "cool" down. From what I read most people run it warm. We only cranked it 3x, from what I read most people crank it 5-7. It was not wide open throttle as well.

Should I just take it to a shop and get it tested or should I just assume had we done it like most my numbers would be what most people get. Everyone says as long as the numbers are the same across the board I should be fine. Keep in mind I plan on rebuilding the engine regardless, but it would be a month after I get my turbo installed.

well you should do it warm. and i get good results even with the tb closed

 

try it WOT, cuz when i did it....i got 175 across the board closed throttle, and then 210 across the board WOT....it might be a big difference

 

well bottom line if they are really close that is good. i have never heard of a fucked motor have the same compression numbers.
