So a bleed valve won't work, but what about a device like the transducer in the first post, which is designed to only put out the appropriate amount of air, no more and no less.
Hi Jeff,
I'll take any 5% improvements I can get.
Here is the cut away view of your transducer. That part: Supply Valve (at the bottom) is a throttle.

This is a miniature version with 1/4 inch air flow fittings, rated at something like 4.5 scfm at 25 psig. You might look into how much air an engine sucks in at cruise.
