Hey all whats up. this is my first post in the FI forum i usually hang in the eg forum but you guys would know better. i want to get a greddy turbo kit and run a JRC 6 inch intercooler, first gen dsm BOV, probably get a turbo xs or something MBC and run about 6 lbs daily. heres the thing. my car is pushing 183000 miles on my stock z6. the motor runs pretty healthy she still pulls and ive done lots of maintnance since i got my sol 20000 miles ago. I've done 2 vavle adjustments( the first one was way off since it was my first attempt), almost every gasket except head gasket ( due to the infamous d series oil leak by the engine code) new OEM timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and lots of lil stuff like 02 sensor, coolant temp sensor. i just did a compression test with my Mac tester model # CT1500 and i got these readings.
#1 170
#2 180
#3 180
#4 181

The motor was pretty cold when i did the readings so i know theyll be lower. so basically does my motor look healthy in terms of compression? before i put the kit on im gonna change the oil pan gasket, retorque the headbolts and new intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. I'm considering uberdata but im not gonna run high boost so the emanage should do well for now. do you guys think i can boost this motor reliably without probs on the greddy kit? i'm a poor college student who needs his car to work all the time thats why i want the greddy kit so please dont tell me to piece a kit because i want NEW parts that dont need custom fitting and fabrication. If any gurus would like to add anything i'd love to hear advice on what to do and if should change anything or not. I've been lurking in this forum for a while so hopefully i picked a good not so expensive setup!
Thanks in advance

LOL at the responses you guys crack me up. anywho I'm glad my engine is healthy. i wanna put in a catch can to see how much blow by im getting. is this a good idea or no?

that infamous d series oil leak by the engine code is probably the distributor o-ring. my crx and civic both had this and i replaced the o-ring and no more leaks.

actually it was neither. i ended up replacing all the orings and gaskets twice lol. but who cares its cheap. it ended up being the vtec solenoid gasket but not where it meetsthe head, but where the actual solenoid comes together. weird i know, but hey it works so far. no more oil accumulation.
