Bleed valve success? 850 1995

I read in another recent thread that using a simple bleed valve on the wastegate actuator can bump the stock boost level on 850 turbos up to as much as 14 PSI! As far as I know, the 850 turbos have always relied heavily on the ECU to control boost, that's why we have the proliferation of chipping upgrades for this particular model. So my question is this: Has anyone else gone with just a simple bleed valve and had great success on this model? If so, please speak up!
