under bonnet bleed valve aren't that bad as long as there lockable just and easyer way to adjust the boost Do you have a boost gauge? I would play about the bleed valve to you get it right have it all the way in then just adjust the valve with a few turn's at one time. There should be one hose in the bleed vavle and one coming out
