Will cost as much as just getting another one to get this back up and running. Very close to $1000 to be the exact.

Check your plugs to see if they are getting wet. Also, if you suspect your rings are worn, turn the boost down until you're ready to go inside of it and make some changes. I just hate to make you spend $800 on a motor when your current one is not knocking. A little blow-by isn't going to kill anyone (I hope).

plugs are fine, car isnt knocking, so i really wishing its just carbon built up around the rings keeping then from fully sealing, also what is the compression suppose to be at when you test it?
