180-180-180-180 is about right from what I can remember.

Are you getting 150 across? 150 is alright but there shouldn't be more than 10 psi variance between cylinders

2G will typicaly be in the 175-185 range, and 1g will be in the 150-160 range. Compression ratios are 8.5 and 7.8 repsectively. There will also be some cam timing differences between turbo and NT which alo affect the cylinder test pressure.
