No. they are used to release unused pressure from the turbo, thats why they only go off when you let off the gas

They're just designed to prevent compressor surge.
Turbo continues to spin even when your foot's off the gas(throttle plate closed) which in turn creates unwanted boost between your turbo and your throttle plate. Not good for your turbo as it doesn't slow down on it's own but pressure causes it to turn and put unwanted force on the intake compressor.
So with the help of engine vacuum when your foot's off the gas, the blow off valve releases the pressure allowing your turbo to slow down and keep compressor surge away letting your turbo last A LOT longer.

bov are used to release the excess pressure from the turbo itself. many cars have this feature with the turbo set up along with a waste gate, intercooler and piping.
the bov actually sounds pretty cool..but i'm sure it gets old after awhile.

no, its basically gives the air in the intake a place to go when the throttle is close, The turbo is forcing air into the engine when throttle is open, so when suddenly you let off the gas the air being force in need a place to go when the throttle is close. the blow off valve is it.

maximum are designed to position in on the intake/swifter piping. they're for the launch of pressure surges to keep the swifter possibility-free. maximum inventory bovs at the instantaneous are unable to raised strengthen this is why many purchase aftermarket ones.
