It does this by regulating a pathway/door which diverts exhaust gases AROUND the turbine. The faster the turbine spins, the more boost the turbo generates. The more exhaust you divert through the wastegate (the more you open the wasetgate door), the more you slow the turbo down and this is how you lower boost.
