A waste gate regulates the amount of exhaust gas that spins the internal turbine of a turbocharger based on a predetermined amount of pressure in the system to keep the turbo from continually building boost that is higher than the system can handle. When closed it allows the exhaust to pass over the turbine creating pressure on the cold side of the turbo. With the waste gate open it allows the gas to bypass the turbine stopping pressure buildup.

Can a turbo work without a waste gate?
yes some turbos come with out a waste gate (none waste gated turbo)
What best describes the operation of a waste gate turbo charger?
The waste gate controls the boost coming out of a turbo by bleeding off exhaust gases/pressure to the turbo's turbine. By control the amount of gases/pressure the turbine see's, it controls the turbo's speed/pressure.
What is the waste gate?
A waste gate is found in turbocharged engines; it basically spits out excess air from turbo, lessening stress on exhaust components...
Where is the turbo waste gate actuator located at on a 1994 Chevy silverado 3500 diesel?
It's right there mounted to the turbo itself....
Why is there black smoke from exhaust when you put your foot down on peugeot 405 turbo?
this sounds alot like a turbo failure, although there could well be a leak in the pipes leading from the turbo to the intercooler, or from the intercooler to the inlet manifold. also check the intercooler for leaks. or it is the vacuum pipe that operates the waste gate on the turbo, or a seized waste gate.
Why turbo charger over speed?
Faulty waste gate, improperly sized turbine housing.
Where is the turbo waste gate solenoid on a Volvo s 70?
on the side of the air filter housing
What causes a turbo not to spool up?
Either the turbo/turbine housing is too large, the waste gate is stuck open, or the turbine fins are damaged.
How do you fix a sticking waste gate for a turbo charger?
Depends on where the problem is. If the problem is the wastegate acutuator (gold or rusty cylinder attached to the turbo), replace it. If the problem is the wastegate flapper assembly (arm attached to turbine housing on the turbo), pentrating oil works wonders. If that does not work, you have to replace the turbine housing.
Why does the turbo light comes on intermittently?
toyota estima/lucia have a common fault with the waste-gate actuator playing up.
Why does the orange turbo light come on in the 1992 Estima diesel?
This a common fault with the waste-gate actuator,oil damages the diaphragm inside which stops waste-gate opening causing turbo to overboost, This brings up a warning light.if its not fixed it will damage turbo.visit www.turbodoc.co.nz they have new actuators and rebuilt turbos to cure this problem
How do you check an actuator on a turbo Pontiac Sunbird?
Please clarify your question and include make, model, year, engine size and transmission. Are you asking about an actuator for the turbo charger? The waste gate on the turbo charger? Or for the heater vent controls?
