Compression test??

Post by Bimmere28 »

What is the stock compression of an e28 M30B34 and would a compression test be the only thing that I would have to test to make sure that my car is in good condition for a future turbo set up,...........way future, might I add!! :rofl:

using the search utility I found out that the compression ratio is 8.0:1 and I have no clue what that means. But what I am trying to figure out is if a compression ratio test is what I need to know if I can safely turbo my motor. + what numbers should I look for??

If this is a question that to technical to be a discussion tell me instead of not responding ;)
