What's happening when you get oil coming out of your turbo wastegate?

You either have turbo seals that are leaking, or, you're getting blow-by from one or more of the cyclinders of your engine. Blow-by is when oil gets past the rings of the piston, into your intake area, and starts feeding back out through your air ducts. The oil is only coming out on deceleration or when the wastegate is open (obviously) because positive pressure is reduced, and pressurized air looks for the easiest way out.

Can you put a wastegate on a non turbo car?
I guess you could, but what would it do. A wastegate controls the amount of boost and with no turbo there is no boost to control.
What is the name of the sensor in front of the turbo with two vacuum lines coming out of it for a 1992 GMC Typhoon with a 3.4 liter V6?
Wastegate solenoid
Can you drive your turbo car without the external wastegate?
You shouldn't. The wastegate eliminates the extra boost when it's not needed.
Can you put wastegate in a turbo diesel engine..what is the function of wastegate?
There already is a wastegate in turbo diesel engines, most all turbo (petrol/diesel) engines for that matter. The purpose of a wastegate is to give the exhaust gasses a passage to flow that doesn't spool the turbo over the desired psi. The 2 most common wastegate designs are: 1. a series veins that surround the exhaust wheel of the turbo and pivot to open and close off the pathway to the exhaust wheel. 2. a swinging plug that opens a hole at peak boost and allows exhaust gasses to pass whithout spinning the turbo any further.
Where is wastegate on 2004 dodge 2500?
Integral part of turbo.
Can ECU remapping damage the turbo?
Depends on how the ECU controls the turbo. If the ECU never lets the wastegate open, the turbo may overspin, which will damage it. On Audi/VW cars, a bad tune can cause an overlean condition, which melts the wastegate flapper door. This will cause your turbo to not boost.
How do you hook up a wastegate on a turbo system?
Many turbos come with an internal wastegate. For this, you do not need a wastegate. However, if your turbo does not have an internal, you will need to purchase a wastegate with a spring (psi) that is right for your specific application. You will also need a turbo manifold with a wastegate flange. Make sure the flange and port on the wastegate match those of the manifold, ie., 35mm, 38mm, 44mm, etc. The bottom flange with supplied gasket should be bolted to the manifold facing away from the engine to prevent venting directly on the engine. A dump tube is highly recommended for efficient/proper atmospheric venting. Then you need to run a pressure/vacuum line to either a vacuum block or the intake manifold or anywhere there is adequate vacuum on the 'clean' side of the engine. (Cold-side piping coming from [not going to] the intercooler if applicable).
Can you turn the turbo up on a 1998 gst ecilpse and how?
modifying or installing an adjustable wastegate.
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.
What other cause is there for a turbo charger to surge given that fuel system air suction filter air cooler is satisfactory?
if the turbo is the factory equipped turbo and not an aftermarket/performance turbo, your wastegate solenoid may be malfunctioning or you may have a vacuum leak somewhere. Your turbo's wastegate actuator is run off vacuum, and it controls boost. If the actuator never actuates, the turbo will make way too much boost.If it is a performance/upgrade turbo, surge is caused by poor turbocharger design. You have to send the turbo to a turbo shop to fix the surge issuehelp@coloradoturbo.com
Where is the wastegate solenoid valve on 2006 ram 2500 diesel?
It screws into the turbocharger. Look for wires running to the turbo.
1996 dodge cummins boost?
Boost level is controlled by the wastegate on the turbo. The wastegate should start to open at 15 psi and fully open at 20 psi. This is to keep from over boost that was set by the factory.
