it took me 2 seconds to type in Compression in the Search feature.

Answer: Minimum spec in the FSM is 85 psi, but 100+ psi is ideal.

no. higher static compression engines will give higher readings. S4 TII have 8.5:1 compression. S5 and S6 turbos have 9:1. S4 n'a have 9.4:1, S5 n/a have 9.7:1.

^ But that's pretty much theoretical for engines for engines in exactly the same condition (ie brand-new engines). The FSM minimum spec is the same for all FC engines.
