    Question what is this mbc or bleed valve?

    got given this last night but not sure wether it's an mbc or a bleed valve, can anyone help

    if its a bleed valve is it worth fitting?

    is the connections marked in photo correct?

    any help much appreciated.
    have got an aftermarket boost gauge fitted so can set boost up correctly
    am i right in setting it at 1bar, is that safe?

    It's a Bleed valve, Not much cop imho, Get a Mbc, much better results but only use with a Boost gauge connected.

    You guys need to work harder.
