how sure are you that its supposed to be on a TD04 and 208bhp ? cuz my last scoob had been on a rolling road at 276bhp beore i fitted a better exhaust n the 8S is quicker than my old one, I would guess its about 300bhp. ive also done about 7000miles in it since i bought the car n ive not had any engine problems yet. could it survive that long if it was at risk of det cuz of the worng turbo?

very sure. i replaced my old 8s with a prodrive ppp ecu on my version 3 uk (97)an also have a 8s
ecu in my garage with 2 matched key chips from a version4 (98) uk

the 8s is definatly uk only ecu setup for a td04 an 208 bhp an as for it doing 7000mile
it all depends how its driven to when it could go bang.
post up under engine managment 8s running a td05 an just see what jgm or silversurfer say.
