I was thinking along the lines of allowing removal of the vac system, but I agree that electronic rack control would be ideal, just not worth the PITA of relocating the oil filter without a good reason (like a Myna pump), which it doesn't seem that anyone around here has.. Basically, and maybe I'm just being narrow-minded, I don't see how it could help appreciably on an IP with stock components, other than adding a certain level of engine protection, some more advanced smoke control, and other superfluous things that don't make the car go faster.

I'd agree with that, and go so far as to say even electronic wastegate control on a "normal" turbo might yield some benefits like quicker boost rise and more stable, accurate control over maximum boost, cruising vs performance settings, etc.
