"Blow-off valve (B.O.V.) 101 What is a blow-off valve 5 Generation). The New Kind of Blow Off, Just Came out. A blow-off valve is a valve that monitors the air that is compressed from the turbine compressor (a turbo or supercharger) to the intake manifold. It knows when to pop-off or release pressure through either a spring or electronic pressure gauge. Limiting boost through a blow-off valve is good. The point of a blow off valve is to relieve most if not all of the positive air pressure between the throttle plate and the turbo, otherwise it will have to basically blow through the air-cleaner. This is done whenever the throttle is closed between shifts or when stopping the car (i.e., your foot is off gas.) The purpose of the blow off valve (other than to make your VW sound like a Porsche 962), is to relieve the back pressure in the intake when slamming the throttle plate shut, as would occur during shifting. Without a place for positive manifold pressure to go, the turbo compressor would rapidly decelerate from the 120k or so rpm that it needs for max boost, to a much lower speed that would cause a serious lag in response when reapplying the throttle in the next gear (i.e. turbo lag). If high boost into the intake manifold is followed by a dead end path when the throttle butterfly closes suddenly, the blow-off valve will open to the atmosphere, thus allowing the compressor to spin freely without much back pressure. "

 

thats been cut and pasted onto so many ebay ads its sickening. "other than make your vw sound like a porche 962" gay.
