Hi all,
Has anyone ever attempted to put a bleed valve on an S3 8l?

well, in the old days of turbo's (talking carbs and old efi lumps) modders would put a bleed valve onto the actuator to bleed of preasure keeping the wastegate closed for longer. i.e. more boost. but on new cars i know it can play up the ecu.
just wondering if anyone has tryed it.

I see. I haven't heard of this before on an S3.

like i said dave, its old school.
i did put one on a mates Mk 1 323 turbo and the ecu didn't like it one bit.
but on old renault 5's and RS Turbos it made some extra power.
i just wonder if anyone has tryed it.
