Compression is 180 across

[Geo2g]

But I don't make any power. Could it be the Web cams? I put down 240 ponies to the ground and I am using agp's L2r with all of the supporting mods. 6 months ago without the cams I put down 304 ponies with 110 120 120 130 compression. Someone please help!

With all of this crap I dont make power! 240 to the wheels. For some reason I think its the cams, because thats the only thing that is new in my setup. HELP!!!!!

Turbo could be taking a crap?
180 compression is high isn't it... I thought it was 164 stock... or maybe its for 1g's or maybe I was told wrong altogether

Boost leak test? make one, use it...

It cant be the Turbo. It only has about 5000 miles of use and no abuse. How do I make a boost leak tester?

I don't see a fuel pump/AFPR listed there. Do you have them?

If you're on the stock fuel pump, that is more than likely the problem.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just reread your original post.

Pull the intake off and see if the compressor wheel on the turbo has any 'play'.

Ok! I just ran home for lunch to do the leakdown test. I put the motor to TDC. Pulled all the plugs and inserted the compression tester hose to the spark plug hole. I hooked up the compressor to each cylinder one at a time and nothing leaked out. No bubbles in the antifreeze either. Any other ideas. Thanks for the help so far.
