I think a low pressure spring coupled with a electric boost control that controlled both the Wg and BOV would work but I am going to call Tial and speak to their techs on the subject.

Electric fan is a no go because it uses electricity which the alternator has to produce which may offset any FE gains. The turbo reclaims some of the exhaust's thermal energy and done the right way could increase the engine's overall efficiency.
