Guys, don't forget that compression numbers depend on the tester equipment used. I don't use my compression tester super often, perhaps it reads 10psi low from some other one. 160 would be a much better number, and it is common for them to vary from gauge to gauge. The fact that they are all fairly consistent, that is what is important.
The turbo is definitely shot, the compressor and turbine wheels are chewed up, and there has to be air seeping past the bearings.
What's this red you got andrew, a new one or another pos used one?
