Compression Test

[Wahoo]

Well I should of done this awhile ago but nows the time. I need to see if my motor is in good shape before I dump money into it. I still need to get an oil gauge as well to see if I have good pressure. The car seems to run decently.

Anyone able to give me the steps I need to take in order to do the compression test. Do I have to remove the turbo to get to the passenger side spark plugs?

Any tips?

Thanks!

Leave the turbo on it's just a PITA getting to those plugs, might as well get use to it lol

The plugs come right out with a long extension and swivel.

Should I still get the engine up to temp? How is it getting to tr spark plugs with a hot turbo?

I plan to do this today, I think we're going to do it cold though, i don't know how you can pull the plugs with it being warm, so tight near the turbo.
