xveganxcowboyx and I did both the compresson and leak down test yesterday.
Dry 2nd cylinder was 205psi, third cylinder was 170psi.
Oil in 2nd cylinder bumped the psi to like 235psi, if I remember correcty.
The third(bad cylinder) went up to 250psi with oil in it.
Leak down test showed moderate leaking on both 2nd and 3rd cylinders, a bit more on the 3rd.
We could not hear the air in either the exhaust or the intake. The only place we heard the air was through the oil filler cap.
However I noticed that the car smokes a lot only after hard boosting and only at idle after hard driving. When I drive nice and don't boost there is hardly any smoke. And we noticed that my drain line on the turbo goes horizontal for a while before it enters the oil pan.
I am going to remove my ac compressor that is in the way of the line an see if making the line go totally straight down will help.

no smoke out of the oil cap. We used two different gauges. high readings are probably because of the oil collecting in the pistons. I am going to redo my catch can and see if that helps.
