The wastegate IS a mechanical devise, but it is triggered by the pressure from the turbo. When voltage is removed from the APC solenoid, the pressurized air operates the wastegate controller bellows, opening the gate.
That voltage is removed from the solenoid by a signal from the APC box. If you pull the connector from the solenoid the turbo pressure will continuously actuate the bellows, opening the gate and permitting some of the pressure to be diverted to the exhaust. But not ALL the pressure. That which is left is the base boost.
Now if I have that incorrect please let me know.
