there is an old thread on it but I think you run power to the solenoid and the micro is a ground signal .

Switched 12v on one side, Micro on the the other.

Can't run less than WG pressure

How do I set max boost? How do I set up the boost duty table too?

I would suggest sticking to open loop.

Set the duty table to 10% @100% tps and see how your boost reacts.

I would also suggest setting overboost protection in case something isnt right

Wiring is as mentioned above, one side of the solenoid gets 12V and the other goes to FIDLE at the Micro. You will have to create the boost duty table of TPS vs Boost duty. Depending on how the solenoid is wired and the output polarity 0% boost duty could be wastegate pressure or 100% is wastegate pressure. Just set it up one way and see what happens so you know what to change.
