how tight bleed valve?

[Guest RaBZ3174]

hi guys

to run stock boost with a turbosmart bleeder the valve must be fully closed and tightened yes? cauz i know sumone who says they are still running 15psi but they didnt close it fully with a tool just his hands..should he use plyers or a wrench to fully tighten the valve? thanks guys any suggestions will help

depending on what type of bleed valve yes he should be tightening it all the way.... i can use a screw driver on mine to tighten it all the way and it works fine...

we fitted a GFB bleeder to my mates MY01 rex, and when tightened right in, it was showing less than standard boost on the guage...

i think how it works is that if your car didnt previously have an electronic boost control, 'right in' will be stock. otherewise you need to tune it. we needed to open the bleeder a fair few turns before we got back to stock, then more to get the desired increase.

hope that helps!

Depends on the strenght of your wastegate spring 2, all the bleeder is doing is tricking the wastegate to stay open longer or shorter. On all cars it varys

Go GFB man it easier to use, accurate and brings it on earlier, also did u remove the restrictor in the piping to the boost solenoid that helps too !!!

By the way i think Autobarn r sellin them for $79 and u can get it in stealth black too !
