Fear my 5 cylinders of fury!
Title partially stolen from Gina... 
I noticed my car running like crap under boost... well here's why. Cyl 6 = 145psi, cyl 5 = 139psi, cyl 4 = 147psi, cyl 3 = 145psi, cyl 2 = 145psi, cyl 1 = 100psi.
Edit: Stock compression should be 142psi.
:bbb: Go figure! Well it's either the rings/lands or a blown HG.
I'll tear the top end of the motor off friday night, and see where I'm at. Then go from there. If I must, I'll get a set of forged pistons, and bearings...

160K on the motor/chassis, 40K of it is mine. 
I couldn't kill it on stock turbo, so I upgraded just to blow it up.
On a more serious note. I believe it's the HG cause the radiator is cloudy. So it's a max day of downtime. No big deal, It still sets the tires aflame in first gear, and runs. Just need to get to work and back, so IDGAF. I've had the car almost 2 years, and that's 2 years of hard ass beatings. So she's given me much joy, and I plan to beat the shit out of her a lot more before Im done.

HEAD STUDS....head bolts stretch, which is why im willing to be this head gasket blew (if in fact, the head gasket blew), too much torque, stretched bolts, less clamp, easier to lift head and make gasket go BOOOM
