I just turned up my bleed valve, but it's not as easy as it seems to get right. You DEFINATELY need a boost gauge, and a bleed valve with very adjustable settings.

Jaron,

As suggested before, do some research before you go ahead with things.

Some recommendations:

Ideally

-Lose the bleed valve

-Upgrade to tek 3 (if you want to stick with ecutek) and have boost controlled electronically.

Or

-Buy a electronic boost controller and wind boost in on dyno.

Or, at the very least

-Wind the boost using the bleed valve into the car on a dyno to make sure everything is safe.

Dont touch ur bleed valve without a boost gauge!!

Still, Tek3 tune will only mean a few hundred dollars extra.

How many milimeters do you have to press down on the accelerator
to go 10kph faster ? There is no universal answer... all
cars and accelerators are different. Just like turbo's and boost controllers.
