The bleeders dont work well. They also might need to be adjusted with weather changes. They are cheap and that is what you get cheap boost control. for another 50 bucks or so you can get a nice manual controller. The turbo XS i believe has a dual stage manual for about 120 that allows 2 preset boost levels and then you just flip an interior switch to switch between boost levels. I have the turbo XS and run 23 psi of boost daily without having to touch it. It works grreat with my external. I would just get a dual stage manual and get an external gate. The external will help your car spool quicker too. The internal allows a little air to bleed even with the arm closed all the way the spring is just too weak. Therefore the gas used to spool the turbo is being sent through the wastegate port. If you have an external all the gases go through the turbo so it spools quicker.

I rambled but bottom line...get a dual stage manual and get the external. If nothing else just get the dual stage manual controller.
