On the TDI I have a solenoid valve activated bleed for the vacuum controlled wastegate so I can crank up max boost from the factory 15 psi to 23 psi on the small kkk03 turbo. But only up till 3500 rpm. If I go past 3500 too much I'll blow it up pretty fast at that pressure.

I hardly ever use that kind of pressure anymore, but it always makes for fun times.
