here's my advice:

TURBOS are not always "ON".......keep that in mind. normally, your engine should read vacuum. u only boost when your boost gauge reads above zero psi. u can still drive your car normally. all u have to do is shift gear before your boost gauge hits zero. accelerate slowly and shift prior to positive (pressure) reading on boost gauge.

my second advice is to set your wastegate to zero and utilize an EVC or electronic boost control. turn the knob all the way down so you're not boosting. turn it up when u want to boost.

it is very possible to drive without boosting, trust me. i have taken my car on a trip and went 90 mph with the boost gauge below zero. by accelerating slowly, your engine will have time to react on the power requirement and compensate which means, picking up the load.....hope this helps....
