To be honest I would think cutting anything but fuel would make no sense.

Cutting fuel till the MAP comes down is the only workable solution I can
see.

Now what Tracy,or someone else could do is create an electronic waste gate
controller that could be driven by the EC2.

Then add a knock sensor for detonation protection and you got everything.
