update:

yesterday was my day off and got my hands on the leak down test. unfortunately, air leaking noise from oil cap and dip stick. its not LOUD, but its very obvious. nothing much i can heard from intake or exhaust unless i the crank away from TDC just to test it out how it sounds like. car still drives fine, boost strong, but valve cover is leaking bad now probably the pressure build up. not gonna leave it like this for the track event in 2 months.

i already got in touch with a sr20 specialist shop for a full rebuild. he told me its pretty normal for higher miles SR with wear out rings, or sometimes in a hot track day and/or drifting, having oil starving. or it might be like this low compression since i purchase it from pre owner just that i never checked.

will very soon send to the shop and tear apart. will have a full rebuild with upgrade. wanna get my normal 160psi back and reliable power for drifting.
