Just about all, (if not all), turbos have a waste-gate of some kind, otherwise you can blow everything apart (or at least stall the compressor) if you come on boost and then lift off the throttle. Most are internal to the turbo with internal by-pass, but you also get the 'boy-racer' type external waste-gate, that makes a whooshing noise, that you are probably thinking about.
