There are a couple of answers to this question.

1) We have not experienced any issues with the Bosch units holding pressure. Keep in mind that this is still a relatively low pressure system compared to other O.E. applications running the same Bosch unit at higher pressures.

2) Our standard kit no longer uses the Bosch by-pass valve as we purchase these from Vortech and Vortech now offers a very nice, all aluminum by-pass valve. We have switched to the new Vortech unit. There is nothing wrong with the Bosch units, it's just a running production change that Vortech made, and we made as well.

From our experience yes, it's sufficient. There are instructions that come with the TurboSmart BOV on how to dial it in but basically you adjust the body of the BOV which in turn adjusts the internal spring pressure. It's pretty easy to do really.
