I rode in another fellow's Starion years ago (and was running a lot more boost than me), who had a wastegate, and it made that psshhh sound every time it opened/dumped. But maybe you're right...perhaps I'm getting terms confused, possibly because the tuners I communicated with at the time used the wrong terms too.

The sound you described would drive me crazy!
