150 across the board? I thought that was a good sign. It means your cylinders are all sealed evenly. And at 265k miles, Honda rocks.

With mileage that high, I would swap for a better, newer engine and then turbo it. Turbo on an engine that old regardless of compression numbers is not a good idea unless you fully rebuild it.
