It represents the pressure in your intake plenum at all time.

When you're boostin' you pressurize your plenum. When you suddenly let go of the throttle, the throttles close and a vacuum is created in your plenum but pressure is still being built in all your charge pipes before the throttle. If the BOV wasn't there, there's a good chance you'd blow your couplers off from the pressure.
