On my 300D (different engine, I know, I know) I had it setup to relax the turbo on the highway at the flip of a switch. When cruising I ran 8psi, when flooring it I ran 18psi.
A little extra boost can help your efficiency even if you're not completely matching the fuel quantity. You will have to monitor your intake pressure vs exhaust pressure to find the sweet spot.

Hmm.
I like this switch idea. What controller did you use? 90% of my driving is highway at speed, no real need for the turbo to be dumping boost. If i can switch it to a better mpg setting all the better.
