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,a bleed valve does not blows engines up,if raising the boost pressure by means of bleed valve or actuator will need the fuelling adjusted to suit extra boost,once air and fuel mixture is set up,a bleed valve will not give you any probs or blow your engine up,messing with it will just as messin with the actuator,so actuators must blow engines too,it will not detonate or fool ecu like you said in last post as the ecu takes its boost reading from the inlet,not the actuator/amal valve or any other place in the inlet
so how would you set your car up to run more boost on say std mfi management?wind the actuator right in to get desired boost
all i am doing is pointing out that bleed valves bypass the ecu from overboosting, also the std ecu and amal valve work with each other regarding fuel wise, but when bleed valves are there they are to easy to adjust boost!!! without one its set spot on and u cant mess!!! every time u adjust a bleed valve u will need a setup along with it!!!
ok if it was a choice between a amal valve and a bleed valve id deffo go for the amal valve!!!
i aint slaggin em off im just advising!!!
the ecu takes its readings from the inlet,not from the amal valve,the amal valven and ecu are no way related or working with each other,if they are show me the output that it gets,the amal valve gets a 12v supply to power it,then its up to the hoses from actuator and compressor,so there we get back to the ecu takes it reading from the inlet,it will make adjustments from that pressure,if you bleed it or run thru amal valve the ecu doesnt care as its gettin the same pressure at inlet(where it takes it reading)and fitting a bleed valve without chip you will still over boost if over 10psi,as its again getting the reading from the inlet and the bleed valve is not fooling it
a bleed valve is usually used where boost mite need tweakin on the rollers and it a hell of a lot easier than adjusting a roasting hot actuator on the rollers which on a rst is not the easiest of jobs
