Turboing with low compression in 3rd cyl
 
I've pinpointed the problem of my low compression in the 3rd cylinder to either the rings or the cylinder wall, will i ---- anything up if i turbo my engine with a compression of 150-150-90-150? :-\

I put a spoonfull of oil into the cylinder and redid the compression test, it was 150 (exactly like the other 3). BTW, I can't talk in the chatroom... :( I type and my message doesn't appear in the textbox.

I say boost it. The Spy Hunter oil smoke screen will protect you from cops when rampaging around town with an open downpipe. ;)

Oh, yeah, make sure you have the $ for another engine in the wings as your engine may not last too long like that... 100's to 1000's of miles, you might get lucky.
