Default Need Help With Compression And Idle Problems...

Today I did a compression test and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I can bring the compression back down. I read normally that the compressons for my 1997 Civic EX are suppose to be around 180 across the board. Here are my numbers

1 - 185
2 - 190
3 - 200
4 - 190

does anyone know how I can bring the compression back down?

Also, another problem I'm having is a really bad idle. This only happens during the day time. My car normally idles at 670rpm. During the day when i stop at a traffic light, my idle goes all the way down to 520rpm and jumps up and down. This only happens during the day and right after I come to a stop at the stop light. What could be the problem for this one?

My steup:
97 Civic EX
greddy 15g turbo it
greddy type 31 ic
msd 8.5 wires
ngk 1 step colder plugs
vafc hack
aem power pulleys
Lucas 440cc injectors

fuel management...seems like you are running rich at idle..that's just my guess..otherwise it could be your spark plugs or ignition timing (etc).

As for your compression issues I honestly do not know, one suggestion would be take the turbo kit off and rebuild the motor, and have everything set back up in there right.

What are your AFC settings?
