Yes, but for boost controlling. The compressor is connected through the relief valve to the wastegate actuator. So if pressure is under the set relief pressure, no air is going to the actuator. This makes the turbo spin up a bit faster as compared to a bleed valve.
In any case, I'm back to using the Åmål-valve partly mapped to imitate the relief valve.
About the filter again, my Orion just had the filter straight on the turbo. Although it looked like a bit stupid way of doing it, it was by far the fastest car I've ever been in, and I've been in a few RSTs and Cossies. Just makes me think if it really makes a difference in a turbo car where from one takes the air.
