    Yup your right, its primeraly to stop the turbo stalling when you go to change gear.

    It only works on blow through setups where the carb/throttle body is after the turbo.

    Basicly it will open when the pressure between throttle body and turbo reaches a cirtan point. Under normal full throttle running it should not be open but when you close the throttle butterfly/slide/barrel then the pressure suddenly increses as its like the turbo is having to push against a brick wall. If you dont have the dump valve this will cause the turbo to slow down and then when you go to open the throttle again you wont have any boost as the turbo is running slow. The dump valve releces the pressure allowing the turbo to keep spinning fast than therefore when you open the throttle again you have much more boost avalible.
