instead of just releasing the excess air into the atmosphere, you recirculate it back into the intake tubing so it can make the MAF happy.

They are refering to the recirculation or blow-off valve.
The wastegate is a seperate peice that regulates boost.
Blow off valves relieve the pressure in the intake when you let off the gas after having been boosting. This extends the life of the turbo.

Sorry about that James. I was a dumbass and didn't read the original post closely.
