A blowoff valve is a pressure release system present in turbocharged engines. Its purpose is to prevent compressor surge, and reduce wear on the turbocharger and engine. Blow off valves (BOV) relieve the damaging effects of compressor "surge loading" by allowing the compressed air to vent to atmosphere.

It seems that a lot of people don't understand what the requirements or uses of particular components are used for on turbo-charged vehicles. When someone with very little knowledge of the basic mechanics of "tuned" cars, such as the OP, purchases a new car, they buy aftermarket products thats listed on someone's sig. without even knowing why or even the function of the item.
Other than that, welcome to the Z family! Make sure you read, read, and read before asking questions that have been asked a bazillion times before
