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.

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.

How long does it take for a turbocharger to kick in?
turbo charger and super charger are close to the same thing just ones belt driven and other is powered by the exhaust the turbo is always spinning even at idle but most turbo on car will kick in about 1k rpm depending on how hard you push the gas pedal down will determine how fast the turbo will produce more boost (turbo's are always spinning its just the waste gate that close when the engine loses vacuum(hitting the gas harder)once it lose vacuum the valve closes keeping all the boost in the intake) i know on my supra i produce boost at 900 rpm's and will be at max 15psi boost at around 2k rpm's

What would happen if you put turbo headers on a non turbo car?
It would be a waste of time and money. You would have to make a special adapter to hook the exhaust to the manifold. On a turbo header, the exhaust hooks to the turbo and the turbo to the manifold.

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.
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.
