Your Opinion...
I just did a compression test on my car and this is what I got:
#1- 190
#2- 190
#3- 172
#4- 190
#3 looks sketchy, but there is no oil in coolant, and vice versa. What does everyone think? Thanks.

with my stock motor, it looked nearly identical to what you have. #3 kept going up too! between about 15k miles, it went from ~170 to 185. When i tore the motor down (after a timing belt failure) , i saw NOTHING in the bottom end that looked out of the ordinary and the head looked good, the exhaust valves were bent, but they werent gunked up or burned at all, and the intake valves looked great. Confused the hell out of me.
2 buddys of mine have 05's and they show the same thing too, i dont get it, lol.

If your on stock ECU your fine.
If you have a AEM have it retuned.
My #4 was down to 112 and i drove around like that for 8 months without knowing but i knew something was wrong when i would lose to other evos with not even 1/2 the mods i had at the time. Found out when they put in the AEM it was down. I said just give me a safe tune. A week or so later i hear a pop and that was that. The AEM was over tuned.

are you suggesting that a retune will increase his compression or are you saying that a poor tune is causing damage to his engine and decreasing his compression?
a bad tune will affect either standalone or stock ecu
