Though, if you want to make it really simple... there's a mechanical arm that must be pushed or pulled. There's also a pressure limit you want to set. The correctly sized pressure actuator would move that arm as soon as you pressure limit was hit, reducing blade angle, and limiting boost. With a little dampening perhaps, the turbo would spool quickly up to XX PSI and hold that pressure throughout the rpm range. The only problem being if there is a failure the turbo would default to closed. So you'd have to have a overboost protection system... kinda like the Mercedes overboost protection system. The downside would be a slight exhaust restriction... which may or may not be worse than the current turbo. Oh, and the uncertainty of what the IP does when you have full boost and low throttle position.
