Will the turbocharger be damaged if it gets water inside?

[DiJune]

If the turbocharger gets water inside but the engine is not started, it will not be damaged. When the car's turbocharger and intake pipe are filled with water, the engine must not be turned over. If the engine is turned over with water in the turbocharger's intake pipe, the water will enter the cylinders through the intake valves. Since water is incompressible, when the piston moves upward to compress, a small turning force will cause the engine to stop, while a large turning force may bend the connecting rod, bend the piston pin, crush the piston, crack the engine block, or even lead to engine failure. If the turbocharger and intake pipe are filled with water but the engine is not turned over, simply remove the turbocharger and intake pipe to completely drain the water, then reinstall them. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine housing, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, forcing it into the cylinders under increased pressure. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas velocity and turbine speed also rise in sync, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinders. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel. By adjusting the fuel quantity and engine speed accordingly, the engine's output power can be enhanced.
