So you'll probably want to keep it electrically connected and just mechanically bypass the solenoid.

BTW, does Hallman MBC = manual boost controller?

Yes MBC= manual boost controller

My plan was to depin the wiring for the solenoid at the ECU. That would keep me from getting any CELs. My understanding is that if you have aftermarket boost control you want to remove that solenoid. But you have kept yours. I'm assuming you are running bigger than OEM turbo boost and that you also have some aftermarket boost control?
