One of the failures the P8 suffers from is failure of the adaptive ROM, and it only affects off boost performance - but its more common after its had a couple of years of a Pectel board fitted it seems.

We can certainly tweak the chip to suit your car after you have exhausted all other avenues of course mate.
thanks Stu - the man with the knowledge - it would make perfect sense
And fully in line with my thought that I did something wrong when trying to reset the ECU. I don't have the history of the ECU, so could easily be the case. I will try another ECU and get back with my findings

it hunts, and idles high - in kind of a different way than if its sticking
And it gives a kind of metallic noise - rather loud. Could also sound like air, that gives a whisteling sound. har d to describe

But I will look into the ECU and see if that also cures the ISCV - I guess it could be related

thanks
