 It is what you originally described, a wastegate.

    To my knowledge, a blow off valve is a wastegate for the intake, bleeding 
off excess boost pressure when the throttle is closed.  Visually, this is 
what I saw on the S1 (Now, there was also a massive wastegate, mounted next 
to the blow off valve, that was in the exhaust manifold and was the wastegate 
for the turbo.  The blow off valve as I'm describing it was in the outlet of 
the turbo, and vented excess boost back into the exhaust instead of the air 
intake (before the turbo).  Are there different definitions of a "blow off 
valve" that I'm not aware?  I believe my descripiton was correct.
