Is the engine still good or what
 
I think I blew my engine but I am not sure, I need to do a compression test. The engine has a streep port job. I am only getting 5 in hg at idle and very hard to start but the car will boost normal and it is producing alot of torque and boost when I get on it better than before.
How can I determine if my engine is blown? Can it be a lose intake or the engine pulling air from someplace?

sounds like a major vacuum leak to me . . . not blown engine . .

Yep that is what i was leading to. The engine would rev real good and good power, it just can't idle properly; well it will idle but with only 5 inhg
