Results of the Compression Test

well i did the compression test today to try to diagnois any problems that may have developed since the trubo install.

recently the idle is a rougher, and there is a trace of white smoke coming out of the dipstick

so me and my buddy did it today and this is the results

cylinder result
1 165
2 160
3 165
4 160
5 165
6 155
7 45
8 160


as you can see cylinder 7 is all messed up

we poured a little oil into the spark plug hole and it went up from 45 to 65. so from that we concluded that it was a piston ring.\


what do you guys think


and what should i do now. rering the piston, get lower compression pistons, stay with stock pistons or roll my car off a cliff
