doesnt sound the best there brendan! how does the car feel with low compression 4 cylinders!? how does it sound at idle!? is it even runnin!?!?!

Franks,

The car will not idle. Its still boots amazingly - The engine is very very rough = Sounds like a hotted up WRX.

I just hope none of my piston has damaged my brand new turbocharger.

I'm gonna re-do the compression test as I had a half flat battery with I did it on the weekend - Those results are shocking, much worse that I had expected.

Far out.

all the best dude.

i guess if you do one, you might aswell do them all!

whats the plans IF the pistons are rooted?
