does the standard wastegate on an ABY engine recirculate or does it dump to atmosphere?, if it doesnt dump to atmosphere is there any way of making it do so and will it mess up the engine if i do?

you mean dump valve not waste gate . standard it recirculates you could make it dump to atmosphere if you sole intention is to scare cats and generally attract attention to your car .
There is also differing opinions of how it will affect your car , some say it would get I temporary rich mix due to the fact that the incoming air is being metered by the mass air flow , others have said they have dumped to atmos and had no issues with it .
I would think it would not cause to much of an issue as the injectors are switched off when you shut the throttle on overrun anyway but I would not do it if you are looking for performance gain as there will be none .
just been looking into this a bit more and the more common term for dumping staright to atmosphere is called a divorced wastegate or sometimes called a screamer pipe, has anyone done this on a ABY before, just wondering what it would sound like

very loud as soon as the wastegate opens (obviously) sounds pretty cool for about 4-5 minutes then it will do your head in. everyone i know of that has done this on any car has regretted it and changed their downpipe back to "normal" set-up.
