Without getting into the same argument that's been beat to death a million times on the internet already, lets look at it this way:

Your car comes from the factory with an electronically controlled boost control solenoid managed by a $600 computer specifically designed and tested for years to work properly and safely by engineers that are paid $100,000 of dollars per year and have hundreds of years experience between them. Why would you want to replace that with a $5 ball and spring check valve, and why would you think it would be "better" for the car?
