Ok..so....an update......my battery is currently charging....did compression test on four of the six cylinders...3 has no compression at all....the gauge just twitches...every other one has checked out fine...gonna go back out in a bit and finish the test....
08-05-2011
no compression is not good. it looks like its time to start shopping for a new block.
08-05-2011
Ok..another small update....checked two and four.....they are weaker than one and five..but are leaps and bounds better than three.....it has a pretty good oil leak from the back valve covers....don't know if that would have anything to do with it....
08-05-2011
you chipped your pistons, its over johnny...
when you have smashed spark plugs 9 times out of 10 you lost a piston. in your case maybe 3 pistons.
08-05-2011
yup number 3 is gone, pull the heads off and learn how to take these cars apart and take pcis for us then get another engine.
08-05-2011
Leaky valve cover would have nothin to do with no compression.. Time to look for a used engine...

Guess ill start lookin for block.....anyone know where i can find one? Lol
08-06-2011
i'd start with your local junk yards, to avoid shipping, not sure where your from.

I had plugs that looked like that once. My TSI leaned out hardcore and melted them.
I lucked out and "only" fried the rings.

I was reading as I was typing and meant to say I had plugs that looked like that once. LMAO.
You know what I meant though.

if you cant find a s/c engine you could get a n/a block and top swap it with your cars parts, if your heads are still ok. you would need a tune then.

@stealthee

you would have to have your stock pcm re tuned.
may even look into a cam and headers while its out and apart, if you dont have any goodies yet

Ok..so i might have a regular 3.8 lined up for 200-250....wont know for sure until Monday...began teardown of original motor tonight..but due o my limited experiance..was only able to get the supercharger off.....but i will be working on it more tomorrow hopefully....guess ill try a topswap.....and retune lol
08-06-2011
take lots of pics, vac lines and anything you may forget where it went in 2 or 3 days lol. bag and tag bolts and wires, just keep it organized and you'll be ok.
08-06-2011
Perfect time for a top swap!
08-06-2011
well in his case a bottom swap. hes s/c but cant seem to find anything but a n/a locally. with a side of luck his heads held up, most of the time the valves don't like passing metal chunks.
