Please read Probst's "Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management"
section 5.2.  The pressure on top of the plunger is controlled
by the 'control pressure regulator', aka warmup regulator.
The frequency valve controls pressure difference across the
metering slit.

The ECU doesn't care about o2 sensor readings for manifold pressure
above around 1.1 bar (RPM dependent).  It goes open loop regardless
of the WOT switch.  (Loss of performance due to the WOT switch
failing is due to the ECU not controlling boost, not fuel issues,
unless you are below the 1.1 bar or so level.)

Not.  See above.
