so i had an ebay evo3 turbo and it pulled hard for almost a year. i began to notice a loud whistling sound and noticed my car was not pulling as hard as it did. so when i looked at the turbo the compresser wheel was hitting off the compresser housing and eating the wheel up horribly.. just like everyone says ebay turbos do.
so i came to the conclusion my car was not pulling as hard because of the damaged turbo and bought myself a 20g. the car pulled a little harder than the damaged turbo but not much more at all. i compression and leak tested my car and found out that my piston rings are bad. the test went like this
cylinder #1 150 #2 150 #3 115 #4 125
when i did the leak test cylinder 3 was showing 55% leakage and cylinder 4 was showing 47% leakage.
i know the compression spec is roughly 130 - 170 with no difference of 14.
my car runs great however could this low compression on two cylinder cause my car to loose so much power? thanks
