These aren't being released to the public until Q1 2020. So not many people will have experience with these exact gates.
I have a bit of experience using other manufacturers electronic wastegates (Audi/VW), and the MoTeC has no issue controlling these. Albeit with some caveats depending on model.
There are a few things to be mindful of with the Turbosmart ones from the information available, the 20amp current draw being one of them...

These are currently being investigated, I can't see an issue with controlling them using an M1 from the information that we have seen.

Thanks Ryan for the feedback
Dean , are you guys thinking of building in a Module dedicate to Electronic wastegates or basically just use what we have available , leave it to the independant M1 Build developers?
Several different SENT devices are supported on the M1 ECU GP Package as far as I know

There is already support for electronic wastegates in the GP Packages, it's under Boost Servo and it is designed to control a electrically operated wastegate with position feedback.
