I have a very high quality aluminum bleeder right on the turbo wastegate line, and the output from this feeds into the cockpit, where I installed another bleeder. I have set the outside bleeder to run at 15-17PSI and the internal one can throttle it down to 7-10 PSI, of the mechanical setting. This also gives a strong closure until it builds enough flow to open the wastegate, the spring holding the gate closed for longer. Works fine for me. When it the air temps change a lot, the ECU may limit fuel delivery at times if it is set for too much boost, but with the above settings, I have had no such problems regardless of temperatures for several years. It is nice to be able to have the mechanical wastegate set to ~5PSI and control it with the bleeder, when required. I believe that with the spring set lighter, that it also pops wide open with more authority when set up this way. It also gives filtered compressor air to the cabin :>I The mileage is also increased dramatically at 7PSI vs 15+PSI. From 15MPG, up to 25+ MPG, couldn't have anything to do with driving style...
