The dreaded compression check...after 15k of boost
 
Well lately my car has been smoking but I suspected the oil seals in the turbo. I figured I may as well do the scary idea of a compression check after 15k of boosted miles and many track runs. I wanted to be sure it was not my rings.....

Results:

Cylendar 1: 225
Cylendar 2: 225
Cylendar 3: 223
Cylendar 4: 225

I was very relieved to see this. I wanted to do this test a while ago but I was too scared to know the results lol. I've never had numbers that close together on any test I've done with the same gauge.

The plugs were also very clean looking, very nice tan color all which were even. Seems like my gas from the sub-injector setup is atomizing correctly and evenly then

So for all you turbo J's keep on boostin

Nice, I should check my car too. I have a feeling that I have a problem :'(. Good to see the setup is working fine with the car.
