so i did my compression test and I got 195,198,200,202 from left to right. BUT im thinking the gauge is foked. check out the vid doesnt move until 5th turn…im sure if i kept it going it would go higher but it looked like they toped out around ^those numbers. also look at my spark plugs…look a bit white’ish if you ask me. i hit boost 2 times by mistake and it was only 2lbs-5lbs soooo im hopeing that didnt hurt it any.

Compression seems fine and the spark plugs look like normal wear to me. aslong as they aren’t black and grimey. :gotme: EDIT- With the turbo… did you get different plugs? are were you running 93? I still say your plugs are a-okay. ---

Yeah that gap does look small, you can prolly open it to .030 w/out a problem. Gapping that small is fine though too, because once you tune, boost will actually open the gap up on ya. ---

the plug looks fine…its not leaning out? why would i have to let the motor crank over like 20 times to get my # when ive heard of some letting it crank 8times to get their number…shity gauge? bought at harbor freight people normally do this b4 a turbo setup…since im going out of order and doing it after…mabye thats why the gauge takes a while to move…would that make it do that, already having the turbo in
