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.

Re: Loosing compression (SlowB16)
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.
