What's good nos are compression test no cold

 

Do it warm mate, that's the way with a compression test. If your looking at assessing a motor you can run, in storage etc then a leak down is what you want.

Spot on to high compression there, is it an older engine? as sometimes carbon build up can cause higher than expected figures, good thing is their not low so rings, valves and head all good= POWER!

Think she is or was what can I use to remove the carbon when I'm done and running

Will probably meet with a deluge of contradictions, but as the compression suggest your rings are in good nick they you may like to consider A Terra clean treatment, which is a full engine flush which will carbon clean the engine and injectors. You could also go for one of the many additives and then ensure your using a high octane fuel (Tesco momentum 99 is highly rated)

 

N.B: I have used the Terra clean on diesel and petrol cars, never head issues and always gained an improvement in performance and engine running (all cars were over 10 years +)

Hot or cold and NA or TT numbers, regardless they are very high.

Last time I checked mine the lowest was 162 and highest 167, the rest where between those two.

 

For a TT I'm sure I read 175 is the perfect number.

It's the consistenty that's important here, you of corse don't know how accurate the gauge is. Your looking a big difference or range, for example a TT engine that is showing 140psi across all 6 is likely far healthier than one reading 160 on 4 and 140 on two. Between 150-160psi is good for a TT. Those 200psi numbers throw a flag, however there's not a big range and with the battery starting to flatten, if that engine isn't showing any other symptoms then I'd be alright with that. Maybe retest that 175 with a freshly charged battery.
