Blown hg or blow turbo.

[Hiitman]

So she started smoking quite a bit the other day under boost. Figured blown turbo since it's a fake eVo 3 16g and the seals were aready going. But when I did a compression test I got 110-120-120-0. I checked cyl 3 to make sure the tester was still working and it was. Oil does look a little light and my coolant res is empty. Previously when I've had blown hg's it smokes non stop and overheats. With this one I can drive her around town no problem.

Suggestions on which it might be?

You say you can drive it around town no problem, but you have 0 compression in one cylinder. It has to run like Yes or no?

Ya 0 compression. I felt for air leakig past the tester in that spark plug well but didn't feel anything.

Just ordered a new evo 16g so I guess we'll find out soon if it is the turbo or not.
