The waste gate will remain closed, regardless of any actuator spring you put in. As soon as the required maximum turbo pressure is reached, the solenoid will open the valve and turbo pressure flows to the actuator, opening the waste gate.
I installed my mechanical boost controller the same way and this has been working for many years now. I don't see why you would need the T-piece or mess with stronger or weaker actuator spring. The spring only needs to close the waste gate after the turbo pressure has dropped again.

So do you reckon I try using my manual boost controller instead of the electronic one and connect it between the wastegate actuator and the turbo housing?
