If you depin the solenoid at the ECU, it will still see it as an open circuit, so I'd guess you'll still get the CE light.

I probably should start another thread to ask about boost control. Right now, I'm still running the stock boost control solenoid setup, and unfortunately the Rtek 2.x doesn't let you tweak the boost limit. My setup boosts up to about 8.5 psi with a turbo & exhaust setup similar to yours - BNR stage 1 turbo into RB DP, RB presilencer & Borla catback. With the BNR turbo wastegate porting, the stock boost control is very effective - it spools up quickly, and consistently doesn't go beyond the set boost limit, with no creep or spikes seen in the logs. So now I just want to raise that boost set point a little bit to about 10psi.
