Evo IX Compression test

Has anyone preformed a compression test on an Evo IX? If so what were the values in psi? Also, how much difference was there between the cylinders?

Everbodys #'s are different - 160- 190, due to the tester and the # of turns of the starter.

More importantly, were the values consistent across cylinders?

Did you run the car until it dies after taking the fuel pump fues

There was a 6psi difference between the best and the worst. Could the IX's be running a different compression ratio? BTW the engine was warmed up exactaly as the maintence manual says to do.

^^ I was thinking that a problem had led you to do a comression test.

Well, for some odd reason the car is down about 30 horsepower from when I last had it dynoed. I put it on the dyno yesterday and I am like WTF is going on here. It was a little warmer that day, then the night I dynoed it last but I was worried it may have a compression problem, because we can't find any boost leaks.
