are you sure you installed the bleed valve in the right direction? as someone previously pointed out the valve only goes in one way, i.e. the input nipple (the small tube where you attach the hose) with the small hole at the end should be facing your throttle body/intake manifold while the nipple with the bigger hole should face the actuator. there's a very good diagram of this in the turbosmart website regarding their "boost tee manual boost controller" installation instructions. the factory setup is connected in such a way that the pipe from the intercooler output (i.e. after the intercooler and going into the manifold) has a small tube which is then connected to the boost controller and actuator via a tee pipe (refer to previous picture showing blue intercooler pipe). this tube from the intercooler pipe is therefore located before the throttle body and plenum on a standard setup. the picture of your engine shows that your intercooler pipes are not original (maybe explains why there is no small tube for the boost controller) because its diameter is smaller than the intake manifold pipe to which it is connected by a big rubber hose. you can clearly see it because the big rubber hose has a reducer (one end is bigger than the other). in my engine, the hose is one size (intercooler pipe size = manifold pipe size). this small intercooler piping may be a concern if you jack up the boost as this restricts airflow to and from the intercooler....
