What should the compression on a B21ft be? 200

Yes thanks, I just wanted to know what the compression was on a B21ft in good condition. Yes the engine has many problems, but it runs ok. It has numerous oil leaks, and a tick (probably the exaust manifold gasket), and the OD seals are gone.
I have a second rusted out turbo I picked up for 25 bucks that appears to have a better engine/gearbox/turbocharger, so I am trying to decide if it is worth swapping the whole thing instead of trying to patch up whats in it. Its a lot easier to replace seals and clean up the engine when it is sitting on the floor. Hopefully the engine in the rusted out one will have a little better compression.
