It's called the accelerator. Goes down for turbo on, higher for turbo off

doesnt that twin turbo supercharged WRX in the US have the ability to disengage the supercharger? Also I'm pretty sure the Nissan March super-turbo has a clutched supercharger that disengages when the turbo is spooled ? shrug

Toyota had a clutched supercharger system on their late 80's model sedans which was a more based on economy vs time altering 2f2f type acceleration options.
