The gate limits the amount of pressure the turbo can place on the carburetor. This protects the engine from boost levels that could damage the engine.
The wastegate on a Turbo Dodge Daytona is mounted on the exhaust housing of the turbo. Both the intake and exhaust manifold are on the back of the motor. The exhaust manifold connects to the exhaust housing of the turbo - directing the hot/compressed exhaust gasses to the turbine and allowing it to decompress across the turbine blades. The wastegate is a second path for these compressed gasses to go through - when the turbo is creating the wanted presure on the intake side. When the computer wants the turbo to make more boost the wastegate is closed, when the turbo is making enough boost the wastegate is opened - allowing the exhaust gasses to bypass the turbine and control how fast it is spinning. On the Dodge 2.2 and 2.5 turbo motors there is an airline run back to a pneumatic can on top of the turbo - connected on one end to the intake manifold, and another end to a solonoid controlled by the computer. When there is vaccum on the line, the wastegate stays closed. When boost starts to ramp up the line to the can is presurized, but the electronic solonoid (controlled by the computer) is open and allows the pressure to escape. When the map sensor tells the computer that the intake is at target pressure, it closes the solonoid on the air line to the can on the turbo. This causes the pressure to fill in the can - pushing on the rod connected to the swing-valve, which opens the wastegate and allows the exhaust gas to escape without going through the turbine. Just a warining - if you disconnect the line to the can on the turbo the computer cannot control the amount of boost, which makes your engine get too much air. It will not be able to put in enough fuel for it to run right, which will damage it. There is a technique some racers use called a bleed - where you "bleed" off some of the pressure going through the wastegate control air line, but these are dangerous it not done right (keep the engine from going into open loop condition). A better approach is to change the computer and allow it to push more boost in - and fuel.

Where is wastegate on 2004 dodge 2500?
Integral part of turbo.
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.
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.
Will a 2.2 liter turbo motor from a dodge daytona mount up to the tranny in a 1993 dodge caravan?
Not going to work.
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.
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.
Where is the fuse for the turbo wastegate solenoid on a 2006 Dodge 2500 Ram 5.9 diesel?
The turbo waste gate is powered by the engine computer. If the truck runs it is not a blown fuse. A normal failure is the wires breaking off at the base of the solenoid.
When was Dodge Daytona created?
Dodge Daytona was created in 1984.
Can you turn the turbo up on a 1998 gst ecilpse and how?
modifying or installing an adjustable wastegate.
Which turbocharger do you wastegate on a twin turbo dodge cummins?
The small one that is connected to the exhaust manifold so it doesnt overspin and possibly blow up. Visit some of the diesel forums to learn how it is done.
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.
