Nope, not thrust, but weight makes the wake turbulence. Any heavy aircraft, even gliding with minimal thrust makes massive rolls of air. Always touch down on landing beyond the touch down point of a "heavy", and always lift-off before the point the "heavy" lift's off when following one on take-off. Stay above the wake turbulence, not below it.
