A stucked BPC isn't exactly dead you see....

what the technician referred to is a dead (electrically) BPC. When that happens, it's the same as pulling the wire to the BPC, i.e. base boost only.
My problem BPC was fine electrically, it buzzed, and it gave me some boost, but sometimes it didn't boost, and sometimes it hit fuel cutoff.
When you cleaned your valve, did you see any metal shavings coming out of it ? When I tried to clean mine, I saw metal shavings coming out.
I don't see anyway of diagnosing a somewhat functioning BPC other than trying a known good one. Do you know anyone that has a late model 9K turbo that is functioning normally ?
