    External Wastegate for MK7

    Hi guys, anyone know if an external wastegate can be tuned with HPtuners?
    I see there is an option: [ECM] 45520 - Wastegate Configuration(Electronic/Pressure Actuated). But I don't know if this can be used to configure an EWG or some boost pressure solenoid.

    I plan to install a Garrett Turbo and am considering my tuning options...

    Anyone guys? Someone has tried removing the torque limit when the actuator fails and turning off CEL?

    Just wanted to chime in and say I have also seen this switch and been intrigued by it. I believe UM supports traditional boost solenoid setups.

    I think it's totally doable with this ECU, but I'm fairly certain there's a few other tables you need to adjust to make it work. I don't think HP tuners has them defined.

    What OS are you on/can you post your stock file?

    Hi aaronc7! Sorry, I had not seen your message, after a few days I lost hope for an answer. Luckily a turbo CTS will be installed and no external WG is required. But it is a good topic to continue. This is the stock file for a 2018 seat
