Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve.

In simple terms, it's a one way valve that releases excess pressure from the crank case into your intake stream and closes under boost.

You don't need to change it every year.

It's a one way check valve. When you're in boost, it prevents boost from pressurizing your crackcase.
