Any ideas?? as i dont want to blow my new engine and cant afford a setup until next month and need the car for work.

ooooft 1.5bar on a fresh build,why did u keep doing it thats what puzzles me
anyway the revs shouldnt be high and u should be keepin it off boost for a few hundreds miles anyway so whether the bleed valve is open or shut u shouldnt be drivin it hard enough to be boosting,closing it over isnt an excuse to boot it and think its safe,running in period is crucial if your engine is to survive in the future
