Yes it can, don't do it though, bleed valves are nasty rubbish things.

If you do want a quick rise then fit an MBC (Mechanical Boost Controller) such as a Dawes device, GBE, etc etc, a ball and spring type controller. These are much better than a bleed valve and cost around £35-£55 depending on the one you go for.

Ask on here for what the safe level to increase the boost to is though, and ensure you have a bost guage in order to set it properly.

Agreed, as long as they are used with respect, good bang for buck !
