Hello,
Yesterday my friend checked the compression of my fiat coupe 2.0 16v turbo.
All cylinders have 7bar compression. I know that if normal car without turbo has compression of 7bar (100psi) it is dead car. But my fiat starts up and drives good withuot any smokes. So what is normal compression of 2.0 16v turbo engine?
 
hi mate,
150 is good compression as you well know im sure. no idea how its reading 100 psi, maybe the gauge is continually not being screwed in tight, or if its just the push in compression tester then i would get a threaded one and re test them, £20 quid well spend and hardly any work at all.
+ afterwards when your sat down sipping your brew you feel good that its been done by yourself and everything is good..
or potentially not in your case
