Blown or Not?
Ok I have a 94 FD with a 13B-TT, I thought I blew the motor up but the other day I started it up and it runs, however when I approach boost it falls on its face... The throttle repsonse is terrible, however when I was driving it around I did get it to boost 6psi, so I was wondering what your guys take was on it? Is it blown or not? Someone else justed that I just fouled the plugs.

Sounds more like a boost leak, you should be able to boost up to 10lbs with a stock ecu. The car will perform like a dog with what your talking about. Check the couplers before you waste $80 getting compression test you may not need. Also if it idles nice and smooth it more then likely ok.

If it starts up and idles fine then it should be blown. Like other have said check for a boost leak. Sometimes reseting the ECU can also fix issues with hesitation under boost.
