Ok, so I had a compression test done before I went turbo, several months ago. Came up ~220 across the board, I believe the highest variance between cylinders was like 4psi.

Recently after going turbo I've been having CRAZY overheating problems. Doesn't get hot on the way to work in the morning, but in the afternoon or anytime its really hot outside (its FL-- it always is) it gets up to like 3/4 to 5/6 up the stock gauge and fluctuates-- goes back down randomly then increases again when I get on the throttle. And if I turn on the heater it drops way down to between 1/3 and 1/2 which is normal from when I was nonturbo. I won't go into all that in detail as I've done it in other threads. I suspected the headgasket may be gone. Btw, the car isn't smoking at all anymore.. it was blowing a bunch of smoke at WOT only the first time I did a WOT pull each day for a few days. After doing the wet compression test today, the same smoke came out, so I must have been burning some oil.

Anyhow here are my results. Both tests were done with the engine hot (operating temp, after driving for about 20 minutes.. and yes, it did start getting to about 3/4 up the gauge).

First test: 198, 182*, 190, 195
*-- on the #2 cylinder, the first crank didn't make the gauge JUMP, it took a bit longer to build the pressure unlike the other 3 cylinders

Wet test (1.5 capfuls of oil per cylinder): 265, 235, 230, 225

A couple things worry me..

1. #1 cylinder was always higher than the others, is that ok and why would that happen?

2. Like I mentioned above, the #2 cylinder built pressure more slowly, so I'm fearing the rings may be worn on that one for some reason.

3. All the compression numbers were significantly better on the wet test, which leads me to believe I may HAVE blown the HG or all the rings need to be replaced.

Help! What do you recommend, and what do you think these results mean?
