Holy sh*t, the guy just asked a simple question. Remember, not everyone is a car genious. On the contrary, to a lot of people, a car is just a machine that gets them from point A to point B.
Now I have a question. Wouldn't supercharged cars need a BOV since they are constantly making boost, as long as the engine is on of course?

roots SC's do have a built in bypass. centrifugal SC's on the other hand are basically the compressor side of a turbo, with a shaft driven by a belt. so they use a BOV the same as a turbo.

The sound is your BOV. It happens when your car spools up boost and when you shift gears it lets all of that air that was spoiled up in your turbo out. It can also happen when you just spoil up the turbo and let go of the gas which will also let all of the air out. I hope that helps you. Don't let what some of these guys say get to you. We were all like that once. The first fast and the furious i saw with his DSM i didnt know what the hell that sound was. Good luck
no man you needed to buy a civic ,,, you are in the wrong side of the house.... 
you can make them do that but in the evo community,, we like it quick and stealthy,,,, you know a sleeper,,,,,, we dont show off like the ricers we get-it-done

I don't like soup...
I do agree the EVOs blow off sounds 99999999X meaner than anything else I have heard.

Everyone already covered what it is but about the harsh comments...just be glad this isnt the supra forums. If you make one little slip you will get absolutly torn to shreds. My best friend just recently sold his '94 tt supra so he was always on and said it horrible, they make you feel like a bag of d*cks.
SF is a wonderful place .

the "pssh" or "whoosh" sound is a BOV (blow-off valve)...when the throttle is applied (the plate open) the intake's suction after being filtered sends the air to the turbo and creates force..when the throttle is released or shifting gears releases the air built in the turbo, to prevent compressor surge..can u say turbo havoc?..
