Default Loosing compression

Ok last time I had my comp checked it was : 190, 190, 185,185. This is in a b16 first gen. I know these #'s are low. I put my turbo in last weekend and I was wondering if I am going to lose comp a lot faster now that I am boosting. I am boosting about 5-7 lbs BTW. And, is there any way to "pro long" the life of your piston rings? Im thinking not, but worth a try. Thanks for your input, Matt.... My main concern is how long will my engine last for.

you increase the wear and tear on your motor most definitely when you boost. my compression readings are bad enough as it is since i boosted. just dont abuse your motor too much.
