Re: increase boost????????

no still drives exactly the same as before bleed valve was fitted,when fully closed only 1/2 boosts fully open as though its not there,revs alway to 7000rpm still,3 way bleed valve fitted had to block 1 off T the two across blew through constantly when closed made no difference blocked 1 off and using the down piece and 1 across if that makes sense lol
