Your compression should be 190-210, mine is 9.5 and i get 210 across the board

Make sure the car is fully warmt up and gas to the floor while cranking

Yeah too low. If it doesn't smoke though just turn up the boost to make up for it

Ha this is a funny post, i just went through something like this, it turns out the valve in the tube on my compression tester was messed up. I went out and bought a new tester and gauge from autozone and my readings went up from 140ish-psi across the board to 200psi.

the gas pedal needs to be to the floor when you do the test otherwise your not gonna get any air in the cylinders.

Do a leak down. They are way more accurate than compression tests.
