Default compression for turbo???

What kind of compression do I need to be seeing to safely turbo my d16z6? And how close should the psi be from one cylinder to the next? It's a 95 ex sedan with 130k on it.

motors will vary... As long as theres no more than a 10% difference between cylinders you should be golden

That's cool, thanks for the link,I guess I was just wondering where the psi should be to be safe for my turbo project. Does it matter if my compression is low to do a turbo as long as the numbers are similar? Or do I need to be over a certain psi to be make sure I'm safe?
