Which risk increases when a turbocharger cycle overspeeds?

A)Compressor surge induces blade fatigue
B)Catalytic converter faces thermal runaway
C)Intercooler efficiency significantly decreases
D)Wastegate valve exhibits mechanical seizure

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge causes blade fatigue because the angle of attack fluctuates, leading to cyclical stress beyond design limits on the rotating blades causing work imparted to reverse flow; therefore, blade failures increase rather than thermal runaway of a catalyst under normal conditions.
