behind the glovebox

Rip it out, along with a good length of the wiring, and slap it on Ebay!

Without one you drop your boost to 4.5psi...

then you use a bleed valve (or other device or even a full on electronic boost controler!) to manually control the wastegate.

The ECU allow you to run more boost than std at certain points in the rev range (4.5psi goes to 9 psi). It basically uses a solenoid as a electronic bleed vlave.

The reason for this is to reduce the midrange torque by a large amount to cut down on warrenty claims!!

Nothing to do with points or electric ignition.
Either fit a actuator with a stronger spring to increace the boost.
Or
Fit a bleed valve.
