My 1g laser turbo has 121 compression across the board, I know its a little low but do I need to do a rebuild? Since all the cylinders are the same I assumed it was ok but I just want to check.
Thanks!
 
Do a leakdown test and find out where the air is going. You might just need a headgasket or a valve job.
 
Or your timing belt is off by a tooth, giving you more over lap to bleed compression out of the cylinders.

Did you do a "dry" or "wet" compression test?
