Turbo, RTV, Block off plates, and advice...

Okay, so I checked compression on both rotors. I'm getting around 50-60psi on each face and a total compression of 100+psi (using piston compression tester) both front and rear.

I pulled the plugs and they're a little fouled. One of the leading plugs isn't looking too good as the piece in the middle has been warn away compared to the other one (not as pointy). When I pulled them however I noticed the first had alot of oil and and seemed well lubricated (front). When I pulled the second (rear) I noticed it had alot of oil and fuel mixture in it. I don't know why it's flooding on the rear when compression is so high.

Any thoughts on why a very good compression engine is flooding out?

(As a side note, I'm only able to secure trailing plugs right now. Would putting those in the leading position affect anything?)
