The shop manual says 8.0:1.

CR = 8.0 is correct... 8.5 is too high for a turbo motor that runs 14 pounds boost.

Or, did you mean what is the normal PSI for a compression test? Common question after someone cooks an engine by using a manual boost controller.

Yes, that's what I was asking, normal PSI for a compression test.

Thanks,

Are you looking for the compression _ratio_, or the actual pressure?
