Re: compression test done

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Glad you liked the seats. The rear one will work but you have to bolt down 
thee center. Alas, the upper rear portion will not clip in as the stock ones 
do but if you bolt the center in it will match and work fine.

As far as the noise; did yu replace the flexpipe? What about all those 
plugged manifold outlets? Do you use the same manifold for the turbo? just a 
different downpipe? did you align the exhaust manifold gaskets properly when 
you installed everything? Sorry, I know these are stupid questions but 
everyonee overlooks something once in a while.

BTW, I got a look at that turbo. Its from a 924. It has been completely 
rebuilt. KKK is the manufacturer and its even bigger than that Peugot one I 
showed you. Totally different bolt pattern too. If you wanna come by 
tomorrow you can look at it and I can turn the scope on and see if yu have 
any exhaust leaks.
