This air pressure is re-circulated back into the non-pressurized end of the intake (before the turbo) but after the mass airflow sensor.

A diverter valve redirects turbo backpressure to the intake side of the turbo. This accomplishes two things, 1) does not damage turbo, 2) re-uses boost. A Diverter Valve is not to be confused with a Blow Off Valve or BOV which releases excess boost into the atmosphere while making the famous ‘Fast and the Furious’ “PSSSH” sound. Many say this sound can be somewhat replicated with an aftermarket or custom intake and a good diverter valve.

This is in contrast to a supercharger, which is mechanically driven by the engine’s crankshaft via a belt. The purpose of a turbocharger is to compress air in order to fit more air molecules into an engine cylinder. This allows for more gas to be added to the mixture creating a bigger explosion when the mixture is ignited, which in turn equates to more horsepower.
