what else does it do?

I have seen a lot of ads for "bleed off valves" for our forced induction engines. Most of the ads seem to focus on the idea of it whistles! Is there some other reason to replace this unit? I don't think my wife cares about her truck having a whistle.

TurboSmart makes both a 50/50 and plumb back, I have the latter, I don't need to hear the ssssh sound when decelerating.

Quick description from TurboSmart "BOVs are designed to provide excellent sealing of the intake system. This results in reduced stress on the turbocharger when compared to the standard bypass valves. Furthermore, they will not leak air pressure regardless of how much boost the turbocharger is making."
