ive had a few beer and probably dont make much sense so ill draw you a diagram.

ill color code it for you

red = inlet and outlet
blue = plunger or ball bearing
green = spring

what it does is normally there is vacuum pressure and it sucks the plunger down and doesn't change anything. but when there is positive pressure in the line from boost it pushes the blue plunger up and releases the air into the atmosphere, therefore making the air in the line neither positive nor negative pressure.
