so my SR20 has been acting up i feel a huge loss power from the motor, the turbo still spools and when im at about 5k rpm i dont go anywhere

i also did a compression test and i was thinking it MIGHT be the headgasket, bc it was low all the way across, cyl 1:100, cyl 2:120, cyl 3:120, cyl 4:100

here's a vid:
