Bob, I think you were trying to describe "axial" play of the shaft, and there shouldn't be any, except the minimum spec which you addressed.

As far as Richard's problem, if the wastegate closes completely with the return line capped, then the problem might be one of two things: either a faulty pressure relief valve, or the controller is not right or improperly rigged. The engine should go to full boost at about 2/3 throttle if everything is set-up correctly.

Richard... was the controller newly overhauled? I understoof or presumed the engine WAS performing just fine -- and THEN something apparently occurred where you lost boost in flight. Are all the hoses secure?
