If I'm understanding it right, say you have a bypass valve built onto the turbo that defaults at 7psi. The electronic controller is told what the default spring is and then when you tell it that you want say 11 psi at 6500 rpms. the controller will restrict flow from the Manifold pressure feed so that the turbo bypass valve thinks it's only seeing 7 psi when the turbo is actually producing 11psi?

Essentially yes.

Why would it be opening/closing all the time to aid spooling? A closed wastegate is going to provide the fastest spool, there is no reason to open it before you want to start limiting boost.
