Compression test done.. numbers REALLY high??

Counting was still fun without the mazda tester tho

I saw about 115 psi rear rotor and about 118-120 front! The motor is a j-spec used motor with about 60k miles on it... now i hear most people saying they have about in the 90's to low 100's.
What gives? Is this normal compression?

Dude i have a jspec and my mechanic did a compression test the other week it is supposed to be between 100 and 120 on the turbo, shame my rear rotor was at 15psi lol

HAHyou turn the ecc shaft 1/2 revolution and you get compression from one rotor face on one rotor another half turn you get compression from the next rotor on its face, and so on and so forth.
the rotors spin at 1/3 the speed the ecc shaft does.
