yeah that is a built in re ciculating dump valve as used on the rover t16 turbo, there should be a vacuum pipe go in where the bolt is, someone has probably used an atmospheric dumpvalve with it...

If you mean bleed valve to give you more boost then it goes on the actuator.

think the thread is 1/8th npt for that fitting, the bleed valve goes in line in the actuator pipe
