Default My compression & leakdown results

Did my plugs and valve adjust. In addition, I wanted a baseline compression/leakdown after close to 2 years of ownership. Very happy with the results...the turbo just hit 21k miles. Let me know what you guys think.

Cyl 1, 130, 3%
Cyl 6, 130, 2%
Cyl 2, 120, 4%
Cyl 4, 120, 2%
Cyl 3, 133, 2%
Cyl 5, 132, 2%

^^^ Thanks. The leakdown and compression has always been a nagging issue in the back of my mind. I did get a PPI and leakdown done when I purchased the car, but it was done at a shop that I didn't know really well, at the other coast.

Now, this baseline was done by my very trusted indy, Stuttart Performance Engineering (40-year Porsche tech guru)...with the engine very hot, and a "conservative" gauge...so, very glad to see the results come back the way that it did.

You only have a 1-2 point variation Btwn cylinders. What you don't want is one down by 10+% more than the others
