Just get it done. My rings where kinda shot on my LS b4 I did my turbo and I did'nt know. Now I do and Im ---- outta luck.

Re: 175,000 too much for turbo???
 

That wouldnt tell him anything, other than that cylinder is just running.
If its not running, you can usually tell because of the vibration.

I just bought a compression tester from Harbor Freight - $10
Works great

95k miles and 140-145psi across the board. I am really happy about this.

Re: 175,000 too much for turbo???
 

that psi seems low because u probably forgot to keep the throttle at wot ;)

Auto zone lets you borrow a compression tester, just have to give them $30 deposit which you get back when you return it.
