boost problem clarification

[Ingo D. Rautenberg]

Sometimes hot, sometimes not, eh?

Has the wastegate been messed with at all?  When I bought my car the
wastegate cap had been modded for adjustability, but with the screw turned
down too much, it would trip the standard ECU, causing stumbling (fuel
shutoff).  Not the case with the Modded ECU.

Check wires for any deterioration, possible shorting (especially for the
frequency valve).
