It works with the TPS to confirm the engine is under load so timing & fuel map can be adjusted, and on S5 NA's the aux ports & VDI can be enabled.
On turbos, the ECU also uses the signal to cut fuel if boost gets too high.
An example: If the vacuum is near -.3 bar & the throttle is near closed, the ECU sees you are cruising and goes closed loop.

The boost controller vents some of that pressure at low revs based on a map in the ECU.
I'm not positive, but I don't think the pressure sensor effects the stock boost controller.
