Default turbo worthy motor....

b18a
90k
only supreme (91 octane) and valvoline max life oil
compression numbers
1: 180,185,187,190
2: 185,183,182,183
3: 170,175,173,174
4: 185,184,184,183

as usual 3 is the worst but its still in the 170's.

looks fine for an ls motor; if you're really concerned do a full leakdown.

not stuff you'd want to buy, if you know a mechanic/tuner he can probably do it for you for free. Otherwise it'll cost about $50.

dry = normal compression test
wet = compression test with oil drop in the cylinder...most to detect and isolate problem with lower compression reading on the dry test to rings/ringlands and etc
