A BOV releases pressure under vacume, hence when the throttle plate is closed, so you dont get back pressure on the turbo. it has nothing to do with a wastegate.

yeah exactly its not at all like a BOV. early 300z turbos have them just incase the wastegate fails... just kinda extra insurance i guess like say you have a deltagate wastegate with a 7psi spring and no boost controller, one minute your at 7 psi the next at 14 hehe
