Default So currently SCT doesn't offer wastegate control... so who does?

I was talking with Shaun from AED, who tuned my Boss 302 that I traded in on my EB FX4, he owns an EB truck as well and was telling me that SCT currently is still working on code to control the wastegates. He isn't offering a tune right now as the timing is a little high at MBT (mean brake torque) for the stock boost levels.
So I was wondering if other controller manufacturers offer wastegate control? And if so what reputable tuners are supplying tunes for them?

Thanks all


*edit* - Should have specified for 2013 Vehicles ONLY

Subscribing. I find this a little hard to believe because everyone with a tune and boost gauge is reporting higher boost levels.

We can definitely control boost/wastegate duty cycle on the ecoboost vehicles via SCT.

We can for sure tune it using SCT . I watched on the laptop as my tuner was doing it. Your tuner must be unfamiliar with what he's doing in this case

Shaun is definitely not unfamiliar, with what he's doing. I'd take him over most tuners honestly.

However this is my fault as I mentioned the issue but forgot to say it's for 2013 vehicles only... Edited the original post and bolded it above.

I'm not putting him down so please don't take offense, but it can be adjusted on the 13 trucks also.
I am still positive that it can be done cause I have seen Geoff with full races tuner adjust it on a 2013 truck aka the Freakoboost . It can be done for sure .

We did it on the dyno he was adjusting it and taking out boost due to to tight of a spring.

Yup, confirmed!
