Mine was STOCK D16a6 at 205, 205, 205, 205 before turbo + can of restore at 176k miles.

1 year later (over 10k miles) of experimental boost, it's now at 150, 150, 150, 150. I was pretty stupid even though I had a safe setup because my dist timing was off and I was getting detonation that I didn't know about for 1 year even though I had turboedit tunned good. I think my motor had a little carbon buildup (explains the high numbers), but now it's lower because I'm spraying with water inj.

whats the compression ratio on the a6?

how much boost were you running? and what i really wanna know, is how did you NOT know you were detonating?

d16a6 c/r is 9.1:1 i believe.

s1ngle

wow 205 is nuts high for 9.1

zeadlots

Well here is is:

Car had 204,000km's I just had a 16 hour road trip so there is going to be no carbon.

155,150,160,165

My exhaust was loud and I never would have heard it. After I rigged a 2.5" muffled exhaust I could hear detonation and I soon tunned it properly.

s1ngle

woo wooo!

Well, i just did another compression check on my own car, now since the weather is nice, and i am at lower altitude, and heres what i got:

190 190 191 191

I think i am ------- set to go for turbo. Those are damn good numbers.
