ok this is a list of what i have done to it
-255 fuel pump
-no name fpr
-greddy upper ic pipe
-greddy type s bov
-bomz intake
-3" o2 housing back exhaust (no cat)
-boost is at 13 psi (stock)

problems with the car
-10 miles per gallonWTF
-fuel cut
-really slow
-white smoke
-burns way to rich

ok so i have talked to a few people and im getting a list or things that could be wrong bad MAF, i need to tune my fpr, get a eprom chipped ecu, bad headgasget, get a rrfpr.
my compression is 155, 170, 168, 153:hmm:
o2 sensors are good

please help this is really making me madd thanks
 
it has an aftermarket no name fpr and it blows white smoke all the time even at idle
 
im pretty sure my oil looks normal, and i am posotive its fuel cut, i floor it in second and at about 4500 rpm its like hiting a brick wall, i had one of my friends ride with me and i did it and he said that was deffinatly fuel cut.
 
That big of a difference in Compression Numbers sounds like a bad HG especially with white smoke all the time. Burn coolant = white smoke and sweet smelling exhuast gases.
 
The white smoke IS coolant burning. Bad head gasket. The "fuel cut" at 4500 RPMs sounds more like bad or old spark plug wires. This is often overlooked. It feels like hitting a brick wall when the spark arcs before getting to the spark plug. I use Bosch from Autozone with lifetime warranty. Every year I just take mine in and get a new set.
 
so today i did another dry compression test and a wet compression test and now all 4 are right around 165 for both and my auto instructer at school said me headgasget is fine cause my oil and my coolent isnt mixed and it runs fine and has good compression i think i havent chenked to see what its suposed to be at, monday im doing a fuel pressure test and adjust my fpr to where it is supposed to be
 
no its not my headgasget or my rings or valves. did a wet and dry compression test and its fine now:thumb:
