Waste Bleed Valve

Has any one fitted a waste bleed valve to allow a little more turbo pressure?
If so, do you need a 2 or 3 way valve?

two way for underbonnet adjust! three way for adjuster inside very easy to do as the wastegate actuator pipe is straight of the compressor housing!!! ive not done it and i dont think anyone else has yet, not sure as to how much the ecu will take before spitting its dummy out :? you could give it a whirl though just have some diagnostic equipment ready to reset any fault codes that come up :D

Thanks Belly.
There is some logic behind the madness. I had Martin do a power tune yesterday, after some fiddling the initial map was staggering, simply unbelievable. Very powerful, pulling like a horse and a quiet engine! But, and there is always a but :( he wasn't happy with the smoke levels, so back to the drawing board. The finished article is great, a very different animal, but (I told you there's always a but :lol: ) we are now both curious to use the original map and by installing a waste bleed valve we may just be able to dial in a little bit more turbo run, allowing more air in and a cleaner burn. On his advice I have also today started using Millers Diesel additive.
Just for everyone's info 04 SWB 90 TDCI 77k miles

Info aside, anyone contemplating using Martin's services. You will not be disappointed.

yep agreed martin is a top bloke 8) genuinely intrested in motors too and offering a good service :D sounds like my first map he did went like a train just a bit smokey :lol: now a lot smoother and i seem to be getting better fuel economy every tank since :D that seems like a very good theory more air for the fuel! get the sweet spot and you could get even better gains with no more fuel or smoke! dont know if afr meters work on diesels anyone? still think the ecu might have a paddy from the map sensor! :D on ebay some cheap incar bleed valves :wink:
