Default Question on ware and tare?

Since my install of my gredy turbo kit I had done a compression test then and measured 215,215, 215, 215, and 220. Recently about a week ago I did another just to check things out and got 205,205,205, and 210. I have had the kit on about 7 or 8 months now. Is this normal ware and tare or is there anything I can do to keep it somewhat where its at ight now? Stock engine, greddy kit at 8 psi , stock timing, and fuel is just the 310's with blue box. Thanks people

i would not worry about the numbers too much at this level. wheather has a big impact on the numbers. Consistancy between cylinders is way more important then anything else. A compression test will not really tell you much about engine wear in small amounts. A compression test tells you if you have a major problem.

Muchos gracias guys, thanks for the advice. I would always assume that the numbers could tell you something about the ware of the car and so I used them as a referrence, but I guess it serves maybe as a very small referrence. Thanks for the help people.
