no one has mentioned the fact that bleeding too much air off can damage the turbo as it has to spin faster to compensate for the loss of pressure on the compressor side, overspeeding can prematurely wear the turbo, not to mention the increase in back pressure required to make it spin faster, creating a loss in power at the same time
