Wouldn't it just be easier to unplug the CPS?

I heard that worked, but I have never tried it that way. To the OP, test it warm with the throttle full open, my guess is you will be happily surprised.

If none of the above are too bad, I would ride it out for another 3,000 and check again. Just to see a trend.. Unless you just want to replace the rings now... And dont forget, like mentioned above me, do this all at or around operating temp (180ishF)

Well now when i drive the idle will drop below 800 like it stalls and will idle back up again normal, it seems to idle just fine, but it would consume oil before with my 9 turbo but with the new turbo oil consumption isnt that bad
