duty cycles lower=better?
I have one of those manual bleed valves in my wastegate line so I can pretty much set my duty cycles at whatever I want and then adjust the valve accordingly, visa versa. Anybody know if a lower or higher duty cycle would be better? Does it matter?

It really does not matter.
The ecu sends a square wave pulse/voltage to the solenoid. It opens and closes it. I do not remember if the solenoid valve is NO(normally open) or NC(normally closed). The duty cycle is the percentage of the time that it is opened or closed depending on being NO or NC.
What you could optimize with the correct valve adjustment is the time where voltage/current is not being used to energize the solenoid. This could slightly extend the life of the solenoid.
Not worth the time and effort to figure it out is my opinion.
