Put a ring down the cylinder, square it off with pushing a piston behind it, the take a feeler gauge to the ring gap and measure it.

Is that not the original cross hatching finish from honing, measure the ring gap to check for wear.

Nice to see an 854 t5r!

Cheers fella. I told you the UK was a dodgy place :)

you haven't dislodged a boost hose possibly, sounds similar to what happen when our v70r awd popped its bottom ic hose off...just a though and I hope it's something simple Rob.

Done this a few times now but with having the lift I just drop the axel without buying the correct puller tool easiest way is to drill round the bush as it is a tight fit which then allows it to come...

Mine dosent spike but the revs hang between shifts and mines a mte map unplug the abs and alls fine lol

Yeah this is a very common place to go and very fiddly,goes to the ptc valve

Auto Ecu's are no good for a manual, they don't control the boost as well and boost spike. If you want my opinion get the right one for the car, it will drive better.

have you checked the pipe on the inlet manifold by the thermostat had this on mine and the elbow was broken fitted a temp pipe from inlet manifold to the tree before the turbo intake and alls fine

maybe part of the evap system, does sound like some sort or air leak though

Could be the idle control valve, maybe give it a clean and see if it improves?

I think auto mapped ECUs will work with manual but not the other way around

Ok not Martin but Robert near enough tho
