I thought maybe the gauge was off too, so I hooked the gauge to my air compressor. The compression tester agreed within a psi of the pressure I had in the air compressor leading us to believe the tester is accurate... Perhaps we're over-looking something here, or perhaps Dark's compression rings are a bit toasty from running so lean for so long If the latter is the case, it's fortunate forced induction tends to mask low compression As long as there' no oil blowing, we just need to up the boost--- once we can tune for it

Best,

Phil

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
