Bleeder Vavle

[TurboAWDman]

So what is the Max boost that our cars can handle (and what is stock boost?)
Ive had my car for about a year but have not really read up on it much,

I know a boost gauge is a must, without it  there is no way to know what i'm
boosting at, I don't want to achive maximum performance, just give it a
little puch (maybe 20hps) I know the chip is the best solution but i'm
screwed if somethings happends where has with the bleeder valve (although
it's the worse mod possible!) if somethings blows I could just remove it,
even if they know it's cause of overboosting it's alot easier to fight whebn
the rest of the car is bone stock. with the chip there is nothing I can do,
they just show me the computer and "you put in a chip sorry no warranty"

Can I install a manuel Boost Controllor on our cars? will the computer react
to the extra boost and compensate fuel? or will it just shut down?
