Can't MS do this for you?

MSExtra has Pulse Width Modulated boost control, open-loop and closed-loop options, you'll just need a solenoid valve to modulate your wastegate. Have a search of the MSExtra manuals for boost control. MSII Extra (or whatever the extended code for the new chipset is called) also has boost control (So I'm told on the MS forums) but it seems as yet to be undocumented... helpful eh

I'm planning to use the MSI V3 board with MSExtra code (and a bit of electronic trickery) to drive this vent valve giving me low rpm boost control on my roots blown bike motor.
