Dont think you will get much help on a corsa forum mate..
Yes i think you can use a bleed valve but you will also need a boost gauge..
Why do you want to turn up the boost on a 306TD? has it had engine work? I know you dont need to have engine work for to turn the boost up but you would be better off just keeping it at the standard boost level?

If you think it is more sluggish that it should be do you not think it's wise to find out the problem before turning the boost up?

I got a pug 306 TD and have turned up the boost its EASY, will take it from 90bhp to 110bhp with about 165ftlb of tourqe.
Go to www.johns306.com register and there is a great guide on there on how to do it, fingers crossed ya got a T2 turbo and not a lucus fuel pump cos i got a KKK turbo and lucus pump and its a bit more fiddly

are they allowed to call it a KKK turbo 
i heard that there is sensor you can remove on the DT which makes it run better on the rev range
