Ray,

With 99% probability your wastegate is stuck.  Take your cowlings off and
observe the action of the lever arm on the wastegate when you turn on your
master switch.  The lever should go through a full cycle of full on, to full
off.  I'm guessing you'll see the TCU cable moving, but not the lever arm on
the wastegate.  Spray some "Blaster" all over the wastegate arm and let it
soak in.  This should free up the stuck lever arm.

  We have a Europa 914 turbo and are experiencing intermittent high boosts.
So far we have pointed the finger at the wastegate failing to open and close
properly. Could this be the  only way this problem could occur? We have
checked that the servo motor is functioning correctly and also checked all
the wiring joints to it. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so we
would welcome any suggestions. - Ray
