Hi,

Original owner, wow!
I never read about how many miles are on this critter anyways?

Compression seemed good to me because they were even. But I’m a NA guy.
New rings might gain you 10% better numbers. That’s like 160 tops and more combustion efficiency will not be so noticeable. IMHO.

Did the turbos come with a lot higher compression ratios but got it added with boost?
That’s the variable.

Is it a clutch or slush box with the same mileage.
You are only a couple hours to lift it with or without the transmission.
You can check big end rod inserts if they sound suspicious?
You might need a crankshaft seal and does the oil pan sweat?
Its truly is a 🎲roll.

Rebuilding the turbo is whispering in the background here.
I think you’re the only one hearing it’s soul and after this many years, you are it!

In all honesty, how much more do you, a caring someone else or a soulful family, want out of this car?

It the same question running throughout the BRICKBOARD.

Enjoying the posts, thanks.

Phil
