You could go with a manual boost controller like a "Gillis valve" http://www.boostvalve.com/. The maker of these is Ric Gillis and he is local (NPR).

Us dodge guys have been doing that for 10 years.
In either case, those style MVBs are awesome. So what if the temp changes.. have your car set up to work with it. Do you have a nice set of the vital gauges in your car?

I have some at home i can take a pic of. i'm stupified by the "bleeder type" you mention
on my drag car i use the old school blitz unit, would you classify that as a bleeder type(i guess i would since it lies to the vacuum assisted spring to adjust boost) with this in mind i dont know what kind of solenoid you will find that is not a bleed type , thats what controls boost pressure from a wastegate is pressure/vacuum on the actuator. unless its a variable vane controller or some shoot

You are the only one that understood what I'm looking for. I'll try a swap with a later mod year and see if that improves things.
