I'm not sure I was clear. What I was trying to suggest is that you could monitor the engine rpm and the throttle position. Using those two values, you reference a table that provides the target boost pressure, or motor rpm if you prefer. The result is the same: you regulate your motor based off two input variables instead of one and have a far more powerful system with minimal extra effort.
