well bleed tap in puttin a boost leak, so is always best to use the actuator, but best not put more than 6mm preload on the wastegate, as then it wont be able to open fully if needed.


the end of the day, you wont notice if boost's set up usin actuator or bleed tap.

also remember that a bleed can also be used to give a better performance curve
