Default opinions on compression test results

done a compression test on my car and id like some opinions on the resultsits a b16a2 with 82k on clock it was boosted several years ago by v-spec performance ( read bunch of ****ing cowboys) and has been off the road for a long time but im finaly getting it back onthe road but obviously want to make sure its all ok before i take it for a remap.




dry

165 , 190 , 195 , 190

wet

205 , 235 , 235 , 235

im after opinions on the results and what my next step should be, i dont have a leakdown kit or even a compressor so thats not an option

Get one. The results are pretty obvious what cylinder you're having an issue with.

No. That's why I said you need to do a leakdown test.

Was this done with the car at Normal operating temp? Either way results should be fairly close to one another.
