buy a new bleedvalve a brass one is best and start by turning it down as much as it goes, and see what boost ur running, then turn it up to whatever boost u were running before,

only turn small amounts though, or as above take it to a tuner.

Im on my way, i'll fix it, pick me, pick me

If you cant wind the bleed valve back in, take it off, how is the amal valve piped up, if it is still there? if its not in use, dont take the bleed valve off, as im not sure what iwll happen

what do you want a bleed valve for all they do is tempt you to turn the boost up resulting in melted pistons, get it set up right and leave it alone, thats the best idea i think
