correct matey

if its mounted in the car, put some hose on the outlet and finish in the engine bay for sound proofing, thats what I did. Bit of advice though, get saving for a boost controller as ive found that with a boost valve, a bit of lag is created due to the turbo having to work much harder.

hope this helps dude

Bleed valve = bang!!!!

Unless............. you have your fuelling set for the maximum boost your bleed valve will allow the turbo to produce, but i think that is almost impossible as the bleed valve will let the turbo spool up way beyond what it is capable of if opened fully!

If you want adjustable boost you should get a second valve to set a maximum boost level then you can go lower but no higher than that. Or do like i did and get some metal tube and put holes in it to bleed air off, now i have mine set to 18psi will probably add a boost valve in car so i can have it lower.

Out of curiosity, what are you people doing to measure fuelling and ensure that the car is neither running rich or lean when playing when your boost ??

Get it set up by a professional, its cheaper in the long run

If you have a bleed valve fitted and set up correctly there is nothing wrong with them what so ever!! its when people play with the valve that problems occur!! i have had a bleed valve for over 5 years on my car with not one hint of trouble!!!!!
just fit them,set them up and leave them alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
