Default compressions ok?

ok guys, im running a turbo b18c1...im having some trouble but the guy did a compression test adn said everything was OK...that it was probually my ghetto wired injectors...well i got to lookin and arent these kinda low for a b18c1?
1-125
2-115
3-130
4-120

i read online a stock b18c1 should be around 200, well the guy i bought it from said it had a built low compression bottom end....but i didnt believe him until i saw that 200 thing...so then i looked up a 9:1 compression and they said it should land somewhere around 170...are these numbers too high? are mine too low? can anyone tell me anything?

thanks

Thats way too low. Should be 220 or so. How did you do the test? Was the throttle open? How many times did you crank it? Was the engine hot or cold?
