It's a bypass valve. Vacuum pulls it open. If you look at the plunger while the car is idling you'll see it's wide open. It allows the car to breath air through the bov instead of pulling it all the way through the turbo and ic piping. It's supposed to be open and you're supposed to get a smaller filter that fits over the mouth of the BOV.
