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 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.

How does a turbo waste gate work?

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.


What causes a turbo not to spool up?
