Evidently EcuTek can be utilized to monitor boost and electronically control the wastegate.
On the down side - I might be giving up the flexibility of selecting my own boost settings though - don't know how much of a good or bad thing that is.
Don't plan on racing it until the spring - so I've got a little time to get to know the car again.

I should say here that the car isn't being done by FI ...
The car had already transported to another shop before FI released their TT kit WR video.
As Agent 86 Maxwell Smart would have said --- " Missed it by --- That Much --- "

Just couldn't bring myself around to extricating the car from another shop [once again] to ride the rails across the county.

Don't want to get too far off topic here ... but will find out more when the tuner gets back from SEMA.

We use the CPC to control a solenoid to regulate boost pressure on this car and many other platforms (even using stock ECU solutions like ECUTek).

Yes this works on the 370Z. The only downside right now is it's a VERY slow circuit -- only 11hz. For good response you want to be around 24-32hz on the typical solenoid.
