T2 S5 Compression?

I have searched and cannot find a number.
What should the compression be for a S5 Turbo engine?
Thanks

When doing a compression test, what would be a good number?

Anyone have an idea?
I know 110 psi for an NA engine is good, I just do not know what it should be for a turbo engine.

I think the compression should be at 85PSI at a cranking speed of 250RPM... thats what it said in the manual on it... www.rx7city.com

about the same...
115-120: excellent
105-114: great
95-104: good
85-94: drivable
< 85: rebuild soon, before it blows itself

HOWEVER, cranking speed is important and fairly impossible to measure accurately, so making sure your starter is working properly and your battery is fully charged are the two key things to ensure you crank fast enough.

Great folks that was what I was looking for.
Adriane I am not working on your old engine, it looks like someone popped theirs.
