Most higher performance turbo engines have a dump valve, as Martin says, but rather than vernt to atmosphere they recycle the air back into the inlet tracting. It's silent and efficent.

If the dump valve leaks in any way then it will shorten the life of your turbo by a considerable amount,and sound gay as well.Recirc ftw.
