I agree with Pickles. That said, one of the forced induction companies told me off the record that they are considering all possibilities in working through calibration issues include electro-mechanical boost/bypass control to eliminate spring/vacuum actuation and tie the boost to the ECU mapping. I do believe computer controlled bypass/waste gate is something we may see in the future. For us supercharger guys a vacuum bypass works great when you only want boost at wide open throttle one quarter mile at a time. But as Pickles points out his little trouble spot in the mid to upper 2,000 rmp range happens at part throttle. I don't know waste gate theory in turbocharging (despite having several volvos, audis and a 1980 turbo trans am ((worst motor ever!!))).
