Bleed/Boost control Valve?
Upon further inspection of my new wrx classic I've found that its got one of these valves fitted to it. I'm not an expert but correct if i'm wrong when I say I don't think its a good idea to have this fitted.
Do I leave it on or remove it? |
IMHO Get rid of the thing, they are dangerous.
If you want to control boost, then do it electronically Phil |
In that case anyone wanna buy a bleed valve?

are you running a standard ecu?
after i brought my car, i found out it had a dastec piggyback ecu in it, and they fitted a bleed valve to it when it was mapped |
If you don't know the history of the car and the mods, have the fueling and det checked at a local RR.
MBCs work well. Just make sure you are within the desired boost parameters. By removing it you could mess with the mods that have been done. IMHO |
i have been arguing wit a mate of mine telling him that bleed valves are dangerous and he tells me there not. can som 1 plz tel me y they so i can shut this nissan S13 owner up.

What makes them dangerous?
They can be dangerous if used as a method to increase boost beyond a safe point, but its the same thing with electronic boost controllers. |

This evening I took of the bleed valve and it seems to still drive ok although I'm feeling the boost coming in a lot smoother now. This is gonna sound daft but where would I find the ecu in a classic wrx just to make sure there are no surprises there? |
Under passenger side carpet ,underneath a kickplate.
easy check is to see if the screws are still glued if not then the ecu may have been opened. what year is your car? |
Its an M-reg 1994
