don't use a bleed valve controller, use a Grainger valve controller instead, fits between the compressor outlet and the wastegate actuator diaphragm, it completely blocks the signal to the wastegate until the desired boost is achieved, the car boosts quicker with very little spike.
check out these links, it's sort of a mini BOV, you can adjust the pressure it opens at by turning the lock ring.

I made my own for my sigma, out of about $20 worth of plumbing and engineering parts. They're pretty simple, turn the knob to increase boost (requires more boost to move the ball bearing and allow air to flow)
