Re: Make slowboy not so slow

Some food for thought, another thing you could try is to hook up the boost leak tester to the TB Elbow. See if it still leaks out of the VC/dipstick. If it does, then you know it's not the turbo. If it doesn't, good chance it is. Just help verify that it is in fact the turbo.

I also agree those compression numbers are a bit low, but I've definitely seen worse.

Youve seen worse on a built motor with only 2000 miles or so on it? (i think 2k)

My motor is sitting at about 160 all across according to my autozone special gauge. Maybe 3k on it?

His numbers are all even, and that's what I think is real important. The readings sometimes vary from gauge to gauge. I agree his numbers seem low, but could be worse.
