Good thing is that it will literally cost me next to nothing to try, seeing as I'll be buying a charger anyway whatever system I use in the end, and I already have a spare wastegate lieing around.

Physically fitting the charger is proving a pain in the arse at the moment, but thats a different problem altogether of course, lol
Cool, good luck with it mate and let us know how it goes!

A whole megasquirt just controlling the valve would be a little overkill though lol. Im playing with VVT control box at the moment, hence the desk with useful switchy things on

And tbh I do like nice mechanical solutions, often easier to understand and manipulate, there aren't many reasons why a electronic controlled valve would offer huge benefits.

And good luck with finding space for it! I think once you have sorted the blower mounting etc, the rest will be easy to experiment with.
