The MAC12D seems to be a clone of the MAC11 with the single omission of
lambda control.

The WOT switch provides initial overboost, WGFV control and FFV valve
control.  The effects are best seen with jumpers attached to the WOT
input to the ECU - that way you can hold the throttle opening constant
and see just what the switch does.  Using Orin's digital duty cycle
display and a diode light on the wastegate frequency valve, it's
easy to see it affects both - it increases the duty cycle on the fuel
frequency valve, and it "switches on" wastegate frequency valve control.
