Just looking for a quick opinion or two please. I checked my compression not long because my recently acquired gst was smoking. Turns out it was just the turbo. Anywho, I has checked the compression and it was 135-142 and not much difference wet (like 10 pounds on each cylinder). Anyone have a thought on the lower compression and should I be worried yet? No trouble with the car or anything worrying me except the numbers. 125k and pretty much all stock.
 
i wouldnt worry too much about them being a little low as long as there evenacross the board your good
ive done a comp test with 2 different gauges 150 across and the other read 170 across
 
Since the standard PSI is 178 with a service limit of 133 for a 2g, I'd say you guys are a bit low.
