Good spot!  I'm sure someone mentioned recently you can only get that O ring as part of the whole intake pipe assembly.

Best bet is remove the O ring, measure it, and see if ebay have something that matches it.

Thanks, that's a good idea.

It would explain why I couldn't find the part number of the o-ring on it's own! To be fair the turbo inlet itself could do with replacing as one of the retainers for the metal fastening clips has been broken in the past.

Okay so the flat spot has gone but I still have poor fuel economy and it feels down on power. (I am used to a 380bhp Evo)

I suspect it's got a remap on it but left in 'stock' mode so will do some more data logging and diagnosis.

Thank you to everyone for their help so far!

Sounds like it.  PM Alex Kerr at AKS Tuning, or ring him.  He's a Revo dealer and can tell you if it's ever been Revo'd at least.

If it's Revo'd, you can buy an SPS Switch and restore the remapped settings I believe.  Not sure why Revo revert the map back to a detuned version if the battery is pulled.  They say it's something to do with how MED9 ECUs handle it's memory, but other tuners don't seem to encounter this issue.
