Re: Compression
as limey said it could be the rings but acording to the book 178psi is std 128 psi limit.also with bigger cams you loose compression due to the longer valve overlap.

Re: mk1b ecu questions
Thanks limey thats the answer i wanted.not sure now what to do.interesting though paul that you say itb or carbs dont make much difference.another question then will the original injection setup with aftermarket ecu work well with decent lift/duration cams or will it be restrictive?.

Re: mk1b ecu questions
I was thinking of fitting carbs to it to get a bit more go without the expense of fitting an aftermarket ecu to it at the moment.

Re: mk1b ecu questions
Mmm.was hoping to start with the std ecu to run things while i got a decent ecu,otherwise i will leave the std injection system on.
