compression test done today!
all the cylinders were at 115, although my first cylinder took a little longer to get up there. It initially read 80 then went up to 115, the guy that was doing the test said it was because of my rings, but 115 is still good for an engine with 140K on it. He also said runnin a T25 turbo at 8 PSI should be okay on my engine, but anything more and it'd probably blow.
T25 turbos are fairly small turbos correct? He asked how big it was, like a specific number (maybe in cc?) but i didnt know. Can anyone help me out there?
Overall the guy siad my engine was doing really good though, just watch out for the first cylinder, but a fairly mild turbo setup like the one i got planned should be just fine

115 seems low, on my b7 i was up around 175 across the board and on my b8 i was at 150 across the board. Was the engine hot and WOT when he did the test

hmmm....looks like you're the lucky owner of the same turbocharger as I have. You see those two larger nipples on the mid-section? You will take your throttle body coolant line and route it through there instead of the throttle body.
