thanks for sharing these numbers on compression decay. I hope others have similar # to share.

I see you have a Conquest in your stable. I drove a friends Tsi off and on since I was typically the designated driver in that period of my life. Wow was it a blast to stay on top of the turbo boost.

Haha, yeahhh, sadly that one did not run in a long time, and i eventually sold it off. We put a LS in it years ago, and it was alright. I ended up bringing up from TN with me, and ripped the LS out - Then it just collected dust - I was on a mission to restore it back to stock, managed to hunt down a factory 2.6L and 5 Speed Manual, but ended up selling the car after I got the RX-8 due to me moving and not having the garage space anymore..... Kinda lost motivation on it anyways. I really wanted to do a NA MPI ITB build with the 2.6L and decided a 71-77 Galant GTO GSR would make for a much better platform to do that with. So Kept the engine and trans..
