Gated bleed valve or Not.

[Rasi]

Does anyone know what benefits a gated bleed valve may have over a non gated bleeder? I have a similar bleed valve to the turbosmart type except mine is not gated. I have not installed it as I would like to know if a gated valve is necessary, or if it doesn't matter. I know the gated valves only let air pass in one direction but is that important.

Does any one know what the benefits are?

To gate or not to gate? That is the question.

Thanks,

A Gated Turbosmart bleed valve as far as I know is only really for cars that take the turbo psi reading that controls the wastegate from the inlet plenium chamber which see's vacuum.

Therefor without this gated system it will suck air through the bleed and upset the car a little..

That is the main idea behind it..

And apparently it also helps reduce wastegate creep so boost comes on every so slightly quicker..

I've gone the non gated as it is less likely to have problems with spikes etc.

The Skyline takes the wastegate reading from the air outlet, so we do not need gated.

Looks like the install will happen on Saturday unless there is some disagreement.

Thanks Joel
