Adjustable Valve
On my 2wd there is a brass type adjustable valve on the hose line between amal valve and turbo? Is this known as 'bleed valve' ? What does it do, and how do I check that its set correctly?

Don't fiddle unless you know what you are doing. more boost = blow engine if not set correctly= expensive

Can this bleed valve be used to replace amal valve, or is it normally used in conjunction with it?
