Feed your boost reference (From an outlet tapped into the compressor housing) to the side port.

When you come to using boost control, simply bleed air from this port. You can also add air to the top port to control boost, but I like to keep things as simple as possible.

yep, connect the two ports that are normally opened to the outlet on the compressor and the side port.

that way, as boost rises towards spring pressure it will open, and when the solenoid is energised it will bleed a little pressure away so the WG opens at a higher pressure, the higher the duty is set at.
