That's correct I believe... on idle inlet's at vacuum so piston compresses spring. Under load and positive boost piston drops back down providing seal until throttle is lifted for changing gear or whatever where it rises again and so releases the excess pressure giving that love or hate 'ptsssshhhh'...

That’s correct. That’s why I got a GGR one, with the air filter to stop shit from getting in.
