Does it run well and not burn a ton of oil? With fair power?

haven't had it long enough to notice any burning of oil

my butt dyno is terrible.. coming from an 02 v40; i dont know what i should be feeling.

the acceleration is real tired feeling; but when the rpms get to 4K or so like entering the highway, and the turbo spools, it pulls harder than my v40

220K on the motor, i bought the 855 last month. this thing is burying me with work man.. my alternator just went a couple days ago and now a coolant smell inside ( heater core ) ontop of all the motor mounts, midwest ABS, temp sensors and weather trim i just bought

stage 0 is so far away with a full time job and a tiny wallet

tempting just to go back to the Japanese v40 :tdown:

low moral :glare:

i understand the concept of the oil on top of the piston heads to create higher PSI.. but what does a wet compression test prove when actual driving compression?

the wet test compression is testing your ring to see if they are worn or not. the oil is actually gonna help it seal against the cylinder wall. if it jump up alot then your ring is worn.
