it's an electronic version of check valves. Keeps the ECU from sensing boost and going into limp mode.

theres nothing electronic about it. it just bleeds off excess pressure. works the same as a $5 check valve......nothign great.

it's a good idea, it's cheap, and it'll prevent you from getting check engine light.
