What happened?
I was driving and pushing it hard.
Over boosted........heard a pop. I figured apex seal........oh well.
We'll i did a compression check anyway. Turns out i have low compression on all rotors. I run about 90psi on front and rear. All even bounces.
Car doesn't idle.
So it looks like i didn't blow a seal. Could it have been an oil or coolant seal? I don't want to take the engine apart if it could be induced by something else. The throttle was open and engine warmed.
any ideas?

90PSI isnt considered low compression. Anything over 85 is "good". So that engine should be pretty good still, if it doesnt smoke (besides startup). Id see if you blew a vac line off or something like the man said.

Probably just the approx one inch line that goes to the turbo outlet duct FROM the blowoff valve (not the real name) that is pressed into the intake duct has blown off. Or one of the intercooler ducts has come loose. Or your brake booster line has blown off. It'd have to be a fairly large hose of one inch or better. Not a small vac line.

I sooooo learned my lesson with this.........
I glad to hear that the compression is fine. It was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago by pineapple.
No smoke works like normal after start.
It must be one massive leak though............
I looked around and didn't see anything unusual or obvious leak.
I'm gonna port the f$#ck out of my waste gate.
hope it's and easy fix (crosses fingers)
