Bleed Off Valve R32, How To?

[joeleo87]

hey all,

i have a bleed off valve, im just not too sure where to put it.

any help would be awesome

thanks in advance

cheers

are you still running the standard turbo?

[joeleo87]

its an R33 turbo

i have a front mount and 3" exhaust from the turbo back.

well where ever you are getting the line for your wastegate put the bleed valve in that line, there should be an arrow on the vlave or something which indicates which way it goes in line. then adjust away

[joeleo87]

the waste gate is what controls the turbo right? the black cylinder?

[cheez]

the actuator is the round gold coloured thing bolted to the side of the turbo. it can also be silver. has a small bar that opens/closes the wastegate. it has a vac line that runs off it. install your boost controller onto the line that runs from the actuator housing (gold/silver round thing) and away you go

sweet thanks, now im sure there is a certain direction to put it in tho yes? on the valve there are arrows pointing in 1 direction, do i put it in running towards the actuator? or away?

on all the bleed valves i've seen the arrow always points toward the actuator.

[cheez]

typically yes, the bleed valve arrow points towards the actuator. best way to test this is put the valve in and go for a spin, keep an eye on ur boost and if it seems to just not go or go to high, pull over, adjust and drive some more

[joeleo87]

got it on and all works good.

i got the valve from a mate and he lost the key for it, and he wasnt sure wat the boost was set to, i tested it out and its set for about 9 psi which is good for me, my try for 10 and c how i go

thanks all for the help

I suggest you get Jeff to remap the ECU for 13psi for you, then you'll make a decent 180 rwkw easy!
