Message I had the same symptoms as you with leaky turbos and 90lbs of compression in #6. I didn't boost much at all on the street, but anytime I did, after I let off the gas it was smokescreen time. The car still had plenty of pull, but I finally got sick of the oil smell and smokescreen shows, so I took it off the road and pulled the motor for a buildup. Be careful though - oil does not compress very well once it gets into the cylinder, so hard runs at the track are not recommended as you may do more damage if detonation occurs.

Honk if you love peace and quiet!
