lol at u guys, i aint gettin no medal! the turbo was brand new, i didnt play with the wastegate like that.

on the way to work i got a missfire and coulnt start again, it got towed into work, i done a compression test and found cylinders 1) 75 psi 2) 80psi 3)125psi 4)122psi

SO, instant thoughts came to mind, headgasket, rings or burnt out valve, whilst removing head i found 1 head bolt loose then removed head etc, gasket had been fuked between oil and water way. have sent head down for a check and skim, checked rings and found to be badly worn, am replacing rings on tues.

hopefully the RS should be good after all this, have replaced gearbox, turbo, cambelt in the last month

cherz guys for all the help and the sarki comments i will keep u informed
