Default 91 turbo - compression test results

I've owned my turbo for 11 years. I bought it knowing the engine had been apart and upgraded by a well-known and respected turbo enthusiast - it's not stock. At various times, I've considered selling the car, but haven't (thankfully). The fact that the engine is not stock has perhaps made it a more difficult sell than if it were.

I just took the car in for service and decided to have a compression test done so I know and can answer the question about whether the engine is good or not.

The readings came out 135/133/135/130/133/135. The mechanic said these are good, normal readings and that my engine is in good shape. At this point, I'm planning on keeping the car and putting some money into upgrading the stereo. With these readings, should I be confident about the next 10+ years of ownership assuming I continue to take good care of the car?

My mechanic does a leak down every tune up, strange it's never been done in 11 years
