S5 N370 Rtek 1.7 and Duty Solenoid Removal

I'm not too sure about the Rtek 1.7, but I do know that with the Rtek 2.x I'm running on my S5T2 N370, all the functionality of the stock boost control solenoid is retained, and if I disconnect the solenoid electrically, the CE light will eventually go on and the ECU stores a code #42. So you'll probably want to keep it electrically connected and just mechanically bypass the solenoid.

BTW, does Hallman MBC = manual boost controller?
