Default Bleed valve confusion

Hi there, i`m a bit of a noob here, so bear with me...

Had an RS Turbo before, so i know a little stuff.

I bought an ERST about 2 weeks ago, its had some stuff done to it, like a cosworth group A dump valve??? attached to it, which was causing the car to idle erratically, so i took it off.

To cut a long story short ,its got a bleed valve connected, the amal valve has been completely bypassed, so the pipe from the actuator, goes into the bleed valve, and then through to the turbo, but on the bottom of the bleed valve is another outlet, which hasn't been connected.
Should a pipe come from this and go somewhere??

i have turned it fully clockwise to shut it off for the moment, because i have no idea how these work, and from reading websites and your posts, i think that was the best thing to do until i can get it looked at by a specialist.

Would it be better if i took the bleed valve out completely, and made everything go back to the amal valve?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
