However, I am not sure all tuners are capable of actually knowing how to control the solenoid. If they cant, then a boost controller will be required.

I know the purpose and function of boost control however, my question wasn't directed at you TGZ (hope I'm not coming off as a d!ck, wasn't my intention). It was more to make a point: How many forms of boost control does a single, street-driven car need, and why use the boost solenoid if you're just going to go and mess with the boost controller after that has already been setup?

That was my point... no one needs "50 maps" when 2-3 will be enough for most. On top of that, paying to have ~3 maps specifically configured then going back and playing with the boost controller on top of those tunes have been calibrated is just asking for trouble imo.
But hey, I only pay for my own car so what the next guy/girl does is up to them.
