Default How low should a low comp engine be?

did a compression test on my s2 turbo and all 4 cylinders are 90. Is this about right as a standard engine should be around 150?

Cheers

Hello, I ran a compression test on my 1.9 cvh turbo (7.5 : 1) and the reading were as near as damnit to 140.. well apart from the one where the head gasket had gone. My engine is a low comp jobbie from Specialized Engines... 90 does seem very low... best of luck
