electronic wastegate

[C. Ludwig]

how come nobody makes an electronic wastegate? im not talking ebc, i mean an electrically operated wastegate. i think it would be very useful if you had an ems with a dedicated pwm map for it. you could run any boost you wanted at any rpm and load point, and not limited to a minimum of conventional wg spring. you could also use it as a safety device.. if your ems detected a failure, it could open the wg, preventing boost, not like a conventional wg that will boost spring pressure at a minimum

i would like to try keeping the wastegate fully open at low loads to decrease backpressure during cruising and see how that would get better mpg too
