just bought myself a in car adjustable bleed valve. i havent installed it yet. just wanted to check ive got the right thing, on the box it says turbosmart and when you adjust the screw it kinda like clicks!! the man said this is so it doesnt loose boost or doesnt make the boost creep up.... is this correct??
