Is the power transducer the electrical solenoid that serves as protection device in addition to the waste gate? On the driver side wheel well?

I bypassed mine - performance went from awful (mid 20s to 60 mph) to around 11 seconds or so - cleaned valve, still performed terribly ... left it bypassed for last 5K miles or so ... am I doing any damage (assuming the wastegate is still operating)?
