David,

Oh, nah...the time between first startup and 800miles / first track event was around 1 week (and this was all happening during the semester).... it was a busy week. Plus I was happy the engine ran, I didnt want to ruin that with bad compression numbers....haha

I understand that.

Anybody around you have another gauge ?

I would say if she is running good and no oil burning, your engine is fine.

According to the factory technical specifications booklet, compression should be 10 bar or higher for a new turbo engine.

I agree with David. Drive and enjoy it.
