Message	200k miles and finally my compression is out. Used to have an average of ~165 and 6 years/110k miles later I'm looking at cylinders 1, 3, 5, 6 @ 150psi, cylinder 2 @123, cylinder 4 @130. Suspect head gasket. About 1-1.5 years ago I used a scope and noticed piston #4 had some scratches on it. Not bad for a DD TT Aiv, prvr, egr, carbon canister, plenum coolant lines, and other deletes all in that time. Manual boost controller at 14psi the last year. Maintenance out the ass on the regular. ================================= 1991 NA 2+2 - Pearl White - Auto (RIP) 1996 NA - Arctic White - 5Speed (SOLD) 1990 TT - Aztec Red - 5Speed (DD)
