Agreed.. Bleed Valves are the cheap way to increase boost however they do not adjust the fueling as well which can make the engine run lean and detonate.
A properly setup car has no need for a bleed valve
again you have posted this dribble,
Ok I admit that I am totally incorrect and wrong for believing that bleed valves are a bad idea, expecially considering that most of them allow tampering with the boost setting by design.
I afraid to say that
Fiesta Turbo are wong in this article, when they make the statement.
Avoid "DIY" boost control devices such as bleed valves and in car boost adjusters.
As this statement is obviously incorrect and that there is no place for concern what so ever when using these devices.
To be honest Im just gutted that when I was getting my engine rebuilt after buying my car a few years back that I was advised by three reknown tuners two of which are represented on this forum to remove the dump valve and bleed valve on my MFI car.
Obviously the vast number of high powered RS-Turbo' using bleed valves and the wide number of tuners fitting them today indicates that they are nothing but a good thing.
