OK, I gave this some thought on the train on the way to work, and I
think I understand now what you are trying to say: the cutout system
is Nasal-based, and won't run during solution.  It also engages during
the specified cruise parameters, something that I was expecting it
would not*.  So you want to use the wastegate setting as a proxy for
the boost control, but you are stymied because if you use the
wastegate, it then becomes active at runtime.

* Are you sure it does?  The boost control will be actively modifying
  the throttle at low altitudes and high throttle settings.  Cruise is
  generally at high altitude and middle throttle.  My guess is that it
  would *not* be active, honestly.  High performance cruise is what
  the engine was tuned for -- the boost control is there to prevent it
  from damaging itself in non-optimized situations.

Does that sound like what you want?  If so, then I argue that the way
to do this is to map a property input to the wastegate pressure.  You
can then use an otherwise-unused property to set it to whatever value
you want for solution, and leave it at a very high value in the
property system for runtime usage.
