Compression test

[Slo2gen]

Hey everybody I have a 98 n/t with a couple of mods to it, V2 intake and 4-1 header and down pipe but i soon realized that it would be way to much money to make an all motor fast, so I am going to go turbo. I am about to do a compression test and I am wondering what is a good number to go turbo at. I know that the best case would be 200ish + - a few but what is worst compression to have but be able to turbo and not run like total ?

id say 160 or less and it wouldn't be a good thing to do. when you do a compression test, you are really looking for the numbers to all be between 10% of each other..

Thanks for the info sui.

160 is the service limit so anything above and below 220 is good. But as siueclipse said, they should all be similar by 10-15 or so.
