you took the word right out of my mouth too 
This should work.
Custom make an electronic control boost wastegate for the sc.
T-piece it between the BOV and the intercooler (on the vortech system).
It's going to be expensive though.
How big is the turbo wastegate anyway?

A turbo wastegate takes up some room. I mentioned the POV because you can adjust it without electronics and it's cheap, $120 give or take.

A friend of mine has a similar setup on a supercharged taurus sho. I mentioned it before once. He is using an 18psi pulley on the car, but has it setup so that anything over 15psi will be vented to the atmostphere.
I talked to Chad about this at Comptech, and he said they couldnt use a BOV due to CARB getting all pissy about venting air directly to the atmosphere. The way the comptech is currently setup, its a self contained unit.
A centrifugal blower on a small displacement engine is a terrible approach to midrange, anyway.
