can i really say its blown?
ok so the mechanic says it has no compression on the number 1 rotor... but it starts fine...kinda flooded... and it dies sometimes on the take off... once its over 2k rpms its just normal, it hesitates around 3 to 4k and the boom im gone... it pulls crazy when im above 4k. i just cant think its blown... it smokes whiteish/lil bit blue smoke @ idle but once im going it clears up and looks normal... how is it supposed to feel to have no #1 rotor?

IF it had NO compression on a rotor, it'd feel like a 6 cylinder running on 5 or 3 cylinders (depending on how many seals it blew). IT'd start rough, sound like a lawnmower, refuse to idle below 1500, and you'd have to slip the clutch a lot to pull off from a stop. And you couldn't build full boost, maybe half. Sounds like it might be weak, but not blown. IT's hard to screw up a compression test so badly as to get nothing though, so I wonder...

you may have chipped the edge of one of the seals and the car will be almost as fast once you get above 3k rpm. If you totally blew a seal you would have 0 power even flooring it. BTW a totally blown engine can boost fully at a bit higher rpms it just wont go anywhere even with full boost.
If you chipped a seal and you continue to drive it like a beast or whatever you said then in a few hundred miles it will totally blow up on you

Check out the tech section in my webpage, there is a writeup there about this. It might help you diagnose your own problem, or lack thereof.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this......
What is your vacuum at idle, and be sure to take note of the idle rpm. Is the needle smooth, or does it bounce up and down?

You can get all different sorts of vacuum readings depending on idle rpm (throttle plate position and ISC opening) , porting style, compression, gauge quality, and gauge hose positioning on the motor. IT is a good troubleshooting tool on an engine that has previously run at a certain level that you can compare against, but every engine/setup is different so you can't take a new engine and troubleshoot by vacuum readings alone. They may give you an idea one way or another, but nothing solid. That's what the compression check (done properly) is for.
