Default synapse wastegate owners

so i have just picked up my new synapse 50mm wastegate, ive used them in the past and have loved them but before i have just set it up for the boost i wanted and left it (turbo 4cyl)
but with setup im going to need a high and low boost setting (street driving)
Now we all know that changing boost is a pretty simple thing with these wastegates but i would like to be able to do it on while im driving and not have to get out and mess with the gate.

Now i believe i have found a very simple solution to this without running a ebc.
By using the differnt port combations connect to small vavles that will be mount the the center console
now my plan is to run a single decent size vac line to the console and t off to the valves, Then i will have a valve that runs a vac line to port C and Then a vavle that runs a vac line to port A&D
Now with both vavles open it should result in a low boost setting,but with valve connect to C closed and A&D open it should result in the high boost setting, and if i close valve A&D and leave C open it should result in a medium boost setting(appox 2-3 # more then the low boost)

let me know what you guys think
ill post some pic of the valves i plan on using

also i know my ramblings may be a lil bit hard to understand but for anybody that has delt with synapse gates should kinda know what im talking about
