a dooner is a bedspread/duvet - crazy aussie word for it.
on the question about a MBC: no, leave the turbo-precontrol solenoid plugged up to control prespool, just put a boost valve into the wastegate line and tune it carefully. you CAN put a control valve in both lines, but then it becomes an amazingly tough balancing act to get levels right which isn't worth it.
OH; AND LEAVE THE ELECTRICAL PLUGS CONNECTED, OTHERWISE THE ECU WILL THROW CODES.

i didn't take out the pills, and am having no problems running it like that.
just pull the hoses off the solenoid and put a 't' and/or valve in there and you're done.
now, one last thing, is it the left or right solenoid that broke the nipple?
one is pre-control and one is wastegate. the one with the white dots on the plug and solenoid (right hand solenoid when looking towards the windscreen) is the one you want to put your controller in. if thats not the one that broke the nipple... just swap the plugs/hoses from the other solenoid (they are interchangable).
make sure you put the control in the wastegate line... thats all i'm saying amongst my confusing post.
