i took out my spark plugs today to do a compression check and i looked like one of my spark plugs had what looked like rust.....how could this of happened? also my results of my compression test 190-175-170-165 is this ok? 190 seems kinda high
 
I just read in another thread that 190 is way too high and not accurate and that there is probably too much carbon build-up in that cylinder. Also said that the head needs to come off and the cylinder needs to be cleaned with chemicals.
 
Was it Rust Flakes???? or was it just Redish Brownish color??? that wouldnt be Rust. is there Rust in ur oil????
 
also, I noticed you have a GST. do you have a boost controller??? You may be doing some damage. You boost may be to high. that can also cause overheating of the plug. if its the same, Try getting Colder Plugs. better wires. Im sure you already know this, but Turbo cars are very particular, and one small thing can really Screw it up. heh.
