You can probably start off better by saying what car, turbo, etc...

your friend used(from how you explained it) a manual bleeder style boost controller....

they are cheap and work decently well... but you have to get out and change it...

search MBC, companies make them.....or you can make one yourself....

Default

with my MBC (y7/z6 mini, 14B @ 10psi) I had to put a check valve in line with it becuase when i would bleed off boost, it would create a vacuum leak and make the car idle erratically.

just something to keep in mind.. the 14B turbo doesnt have a wastegate "out" on the compressor housing, the wastegate is hooked up to a normal engine vacuum line.
