Compresion
Got an '88 turbo II from a friend, the car and engine were apart cause he was workin on it, he sold it to me for 500 bucks and says the compression is bad, What would be the most common reasons for a bad compression? kinda new to rotary engines, thanks in advance.

Blown motor for one reason or another. Some or all of the seals are dead. Rebuild kits start at $800 depending on what needs to be replaced and if you need housings, rotors, etc, parts can go up to $2k or more depending on what you buy. Motor needs to be disassembled to figure out what needs to be replaced.
There's the possibility compression is just low because it sat and just needs some oil and to start to work.
Also, what do you mean by "low compression" and how was it tested? There's a difference between getting an even 85 psi on all faces of both rotors and having zero compression from one or more faces.
