I can see how two plates bolted together would work. I might go that route if doing over just for the ability to return things to stock, if desired. At this point I am happy with this solution.

I would be interested in links to other controls. I am not familiar with the VCV control. Most of the functional standalone electronic controls I've seen close the vanes fully any time operating less than max boost which, IMO, is the wrong approach causing unnecessary excessive back-pressure. Closing the vanes proportional to the demand for power is the way to go.

Having used VNTs on various vehicles I would not opt for a wastegated turbo ever again on a vehicle I intended to keep. VNTs are so incredibly worth the added work of a functional control.
