Which damage results in a turbocharged engine when boost pressure is excessively high?

A)Piston ring flutter develops rapidly
B)Valve float leads to collision
C)Oil starvation causes bearing failure
D)Detonation scours piston crowns

💡 Explanation

Detonation occurs due to excessive cylinder pressure and temperature inducing uncontrolled combustion. The resulting shockwaves erode the piston crown because the turbocharger over-delivers air and fuel, therefore detonation becomes probable rather than pre-ignition with lower pressure.
