Which performance issue indicates a wastegate malfunction causing excessive turbocharger boost?

💡 Explanation

When a wastegate fails to regulate exhaust gas flow, excessive boost raises cylinder pressure causing uncontrolled detonation because the air-fuel mixture auto-ignites. Therefore engine knock and potential damage result, as opposed to backpressure, slow response or oil consumption that are from other turbocharger failure mechanisms.
