Fit a Tee piece in between the pipe the goes to the actuator on the turbo.Adjust it properly and you should be okay!!

Not a very good way of getting higher boost.
Try a boost controller.

If you cant afford a sensible method of boost control, then dont fit a bleed valve. You couls well see the boost fluctuating all over the place, and it may well result in a melted piston, which will then cost you several hundred times the price of that bleed valve.
I have tried them, and have never been able to achieve a good stable boost pressure, in all gears. They do work on some engines, but dont put one near a subaru, unlesss you are keen on rebuilding your engine in the near future.

Perhaps you could try a ball & spring type MBC.

I got one from :

www.boostvalve.com

Simple installation and reliable boost levels. I have a MY00 and the turbo can easily handle 16psi, any more and i think you're risking it.
