Not sure how the BOV helps preventing over boosting at all. Most BOV's dont open until the pressure is beyond 45PSI or so. Are you sure you weren't reading about the wastegate?
The BOV's main purpose is to help performance and drivability. When the throttle body door is closed, all that pressurized air has nowhere to go - without a BOV or bypass valve, the air back-feeds to the turbo causing it to stall. The BOV is there to release the pressurized air and allow the turbo to keep spinning. The stock Toyota BOV's are setup to recirculate the pressurized air - feed it back into the intake piping and keep the turbo fully boosting during shifts. Damn, typed too slow!
