Bleed Valve Question

[MM2death]

I just have gotten my skyline and i'm wanting to know which way you turn the bleed valve in order to decrease the boost. sorry about the simple question...

[DAMQIK GTS-T]

depends on the type of bleed

lets say it bleeds the atmosphere you would close it to decrease the boost.

But if it blocks the line to the waste gate you would open it to decrease boost.

Important q, i reakon, found myself asking it at the track one day when the car was blowing a bit of oil...

Turbosmart is clockwise to reduce boost (closes valve), anti to increase (open valve)

To decrease the boost on a internal wastegate turbo you need more pressure, a bleed reduces the pressure holding the wastegate shut as it thinks there is less pressure than there is. You want the wastegate to open earlier and this can not be done as you only have the amount of pressure there that the turbo is producing.

Hook up a little air compressure and let a small amount of air in to the wastegate line, that should work.
