What are the symptoms of a damaged turbocharger

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Turbocharger

In this video we can see what are the symptoms of a damaged turbine: the turbocharger sends compressed air to the intake manifold, so that the concentration of oxygen in the engine cylinders is higher, achieving greater efficiency and therefore greater engine power. Symptoms of damage are therefore: loss of power, difficulty in starting, smoke suspended from the exhaust pipe, and unusual noises during acceleration. The causes of damage mainly lie in inadequate lubrication, which can be generated by low level or poor quality of oil, or even by blockage of oil ducts, blocked by debris and sludge; even the intake of foreign bodies can cause malfunction, as well as excessive exhaust gas temperature. One precaution is to let the engine idle for a few minutes before turning it off, after traveling long distances at high speeds.
