that might be you problem right there

Edit: and service limit is 133 !!!
wait wiat wait....sorry guys i didnt ckeck them at wide open throtle...my bad...ill check it again tomorrow and see if it changes...cause i think it would be kinda wierd that all 4 cyls be messed up to the same exact extent...
Also i recirculated my BOV and it doesnt sound like it did before the prolem started (and its not from me listenning to it open i remember how it osunded) and the motor doesnt shake at constant boost yet when i rev in nutral it also doesnt do it....if that helps to know at all

You check the compression with all the spark plug out. And turn the engine over 5-6 times and see what you get. You cant check it at WOT thers just no way to do that.

No, it's not the exhaust manifold gasket and certainly not the valve cover gasket.

Idk what it is based off that description other than perhaps a severe boost leak.

Compression test @ WOT = push gas pedal all the way to floor and turn engine over several rotations...simple, eh?

if its a boost leak could it be coming from my BOV cause it is sounding right and when i throtle it the intake tube sucks together really really bad and ive never notice it do that before...
and i understand the concept of compression check at WOT...but thank you for clarifing...
DAMN THIS SUX!!!!!!what use is more power if you cant use it to its full purpose?

quote from 1000faq:

I just installed an [BOV] on my [DSM], and it makes this 'chiirp' noise! . Is there a fix?

Chances are you used silicone to installed a 1G BOV to your 2G. The silicone can plug up a little secondary air hole in the BOV. The hole is located next to the main BOV hole on the mounting flange. Clean out that little hole and the chirp should go away.

could that be it for you ? I mean honestly though man if you have 125 compression across the engine is kaputt; check for signs of cw clutch looses pressure in left turns, timing belt ticks etc;

Try to describe what is going on better do you seem to be loosing boost ? Check gauge ? Turbo have normal spool up @ x rpm ?

I personally think it's done with so idk why I'm bothering writing all this you might wanna check vfaq and http://members.shaw.ca/costall/1000Q/

that site to check if it's similar to any problem on there...but all in all if you want I'm sure one of the members off the board could check the car out for you and diagnose the problem if you want to be sure about it...
hope for the best expect the worst

hope for the best expect the worst
we started to diagnose it today at school (i just started a 19 month votec school for ASE master certification) and my instructor drove it....weve decided that its misfiring but we dont know where....i check the coil resistance and both the primary and secondary are in line i also checked the plug wire resistance and one of them was bad but we replaced them and it didnt fix the problem
the gauges are all straight....i dont lose boost but it does stall when it does it but it doesnt drop....my air/fuel stay rich and doesnt lean out and my oil press is straight and i said my bad i check ed the compression in proberly it is straight as well so there is hope
checked the timming built and it is almost bran-spanking new no wear on the gear teeth or belt teeth belt is no cracking anywhere either.....and i dont lose clutch when i turn left...my teachers said its not crand walk..
i asked if it could be the exhaust manifold gasket cause when i throtle it in the engine bay you can see it leaking smoke and i figured that an exhause leak would inturn cause the turbo to not spool right which i figured might cause the problem....
let me know if that helps any or if you have any new ideas or insight
