that sound you hear on a tubo car is the blow off valve or dump valve...what it does is when the throttle closes there is no where for the compresed air to go, so it give it a vent...insted of building up and causing wear on the turbo and bad throttle responce..
the BOV is diffrent that the wast gate..which regulates the boost..

Compressor surge is not something you will hear from outside the car. Basically, compressor surge is when the pressurized air flows the wrong way back into the power adder slowing the impeller down. In an extreme situation this can cause damage to the compressor, but most of the time this will just increase power lag in the next gear since the impeller slows down. In any case, its a bad thing. The BOV is the solution to compressor surge, it will release the pressurized air instead of letting it flow the wrong way. This release of air is the choof choof you are hearing.
