Boost control questions

Thanks Ted, I sort of figured tweaking the WG actuator rod wouldn't buy me much. I understand a closed loop EBC would yield the best and most consistent results, but how much a difference are we talking when compared to a high-quality MBC in practice? Since my FC is generally a fair weather car, it generally operates over a predicable range of ambient temps, so shouldn't it be possible to tune an MBC for a median set point and call it "good enough"?

Too bad the Rtek folks didn't include a hack of the stock S5 boost control firmware to allow some adjustability, that would have been the best solution.
