Default Re-did compression test...

Well did a compression test and this time did it the "right" way.. Unplugged injector clips (removing fuel pump fuse or ecu backup probably work just as good). Took all 4 plugs out and did it when the car was WARM, hot even. Also WOT everytime during cranking.

Cyl #1 195psi
Cyl #2 185psi
Cyl #3 185psi
Cyl #4 190psi

These are much better then my semi-warm non WOT readings of 175psi avg.... I think my motor is handling boost pretty well so far and am proud of her

Did you do it the same way I did? REALLY warm motor, full throttle while cranking, and disconnected fuel in some way? Its more important that the numbers are consitant like 20% difference MAX. some gauges are off, some aren't.

Sounds like wear.... how many miles? Only problem is it could be a whole crapload of different things, headgasket on its way out, ring or piston wear, head... all kinds of stuff, only a leakdown would give you any grounds of the problem..

but honestly I don't think its a problem at all and wouldn't worry about it unless other symptons came along.
