This can allow you to get more boost, but the fuel will continue to go down (or stay stable) as the computer is assuming the boost is lower then it is.
That's the part I was saying was a bad idea. I mean, it's all well and good to fool the computer into thinking something, it's another idea altogether to have what is basically a hole in the wastegate actuator line. I'm sure it would work fine, hell it might work fine forever.
But it might not. And if it fails, it fails with the wastegate never opening, rather than failing and opening the wastegate. That's what I don't like about bleeder systems.
