[QUOTE="Enoch, post: 1532196, member: 567"] Is there a way to tell if shop really performed a compression check? I was told: All cylinders have super low compression 38R is shot (So needs new turbo) turbo has about 50k-60k miles on it Valve cover harness is shot Engine is pretty much dusted and would need a rebuild (Minimum of $10,500 probably more) What it has: 330k miles 38r turbo 4" exhaust Big air filter SCT tune (plug in play) Stock injectors Stock valve cover harness My complaint when taking it in: Lags power on low end and speeds Smokes few minutes on cold starts Slow to start (like 3-5 seconds) when cold It kind of feels like it sputters or chugs up hill, helps when overdrive is off. It has no leaks, no blow by, and only smokes first start. It does not blow white smoke or any smoke at normal operating temps. It uses very little oil between oil changes. Options I was given. Complete rebuild $10,500+ Injectors, turbo, harness $3k+ Put back together with new harness $800 So is there a way I can tell if this shop really did a compression check? [/QUOTE]
