Would be intersting to see what this is... sounds like something o control the boost if it has a t-piece?

Best bet for more power is to get a chip.

Think Omegatoy used to have a tuning box, so he is possibly best to advise...

I've used this one:

..and it makes a big difference.

Just don't use it on an auto unless you have the uprated box...3rd gear doesn't last very long !!  :-[

Sounds like you've just bought a standard bleed valve - a chip will be considerably better in terms of performance/economy improvement.

The bleed valve might give more boost - but without the fuelling changed to suit you might not get much more mid-range.  You stand more chance of getting a fault code than more power...
