What Are the Effects of Turbocharger Failure on the Engine?

[DiAnna]

Turbocharger failure has the following effects on the engine: Turbine or Compressor Wheel Damage: If the turbine or compressor wheel is damaged, fragments of the compressor blades may enter the engine cylinders, causing serious accidents. Seal Ring Damage: If the seal ring is damaged, exhaust gases can enter the engine lubrication system through the seal ring, contaminating the engine oil and rapidly increasing the crankcase pressure. Additionally, during low-speed operation, engine oil may also be expelled through the exhaust pipe or enter the combustion chamber for combustion via the seal ring, leading to excessive oil consumption and resulting in "oil burning." Intercooler Damage: If the intercooler is damaged, when air is compressed at a high ratio, it generates significant heat, causing the air to expand and its density to decrease. This can also lead to excessively high engine temperatures, resulting in damage.
