So, as you can see I've got alot of goodies for my car, I'm still installing some of these parts as we speak. Before I started to do the upgrade I did a compression test to check the condition of the engine. I followed all of the guide lines for the test to get the most accurate reading (trust me, I've done my research)
So heres the results: C#1= 165psi C#2= 145psi C#3=151 C#4=165 @110,000miles

So how does it look? I know the sevice limits is 133 psi, and they're aleast still within 20psi of eachother. I also checked the the low cylinders with a wet test to make sure it wasn't a valvetrain related problem, and the test showed it was normal ring wear. So, whats your guys opinion? I know with these mods I came gain a good increase in Hp, but I'm going to keep it consevative till I get a rebuild, or a low millage engine. I'll be keeping the boost at no higher than 16psi just to be safe. So,.....What do you think?
 
I like to see more than a buck and a quater on all of mine. Looking good.

PS. Bigger injectors and a wideband and you can squeeze a little more boost out of her.
 
Dont raise the boost over 16 lbs, because that will reduce the longevity of the motor. Youll get more power, but less miles able to put on it. Dont beat on it every chance you get and it will last you a while. Lookin good though you have a swell start.
