    An air leak could for example be a split pipe.

    Be careful adjusting that valve up because thats one sure way to ruin the turbo and/or engine.

    It could be one of many things, as has been said previously and with all due respect, you either need to seek help from someone a bit more in the knowledge, or do some homework on google!

    Check the pipes first, one step at a time.

    Whats this noise you say the turbo makes, what does it sound like?

    If you jack the car up and get underneath you will see the route all the pipes take from the turbo, the rubber hoses will be getting old and may have a split in them. Have a good look over them all

    Might do, might not. Weve still not established the root of the problem. And just to note, bleed valves generally dont go faulty....
