Talking 2 way or 3 way manual boost controler, bleed valve

as title, whats the pros and cons, im thinking that a 3 way controler will be noise on boost? and im thinking that a 2 way controler will be slow to control the actuator?
its for an rst,
thanks in advance

I thought there was only one type of 'manual boost controller'?

one has connections for 2 pipes and the other for 3 pipes, is a bleed valve the same as a boost controler as the both help control the boost

Again i didnt think there was a difference between manual controller and bleed valve. It just makes the ECU think it's seeing less boost than it is so the turbo produces more before the actuator does its bit.

I honestly dont know what the 3rd connection would be for. Unless its to connect to the ECU, the bleed valve would go between the manifold and actuator, i'd assume the ECU would be better having it's own vac line to the manifold though.

They all have three connections. One to the actuator, one to the wastegate and one to atmosphere.

I assumed he meant the 3rd was shaped like the others instead of being a hole in the bleed valve like i've seen before.
