Which risk increases when an internal combustion engine's turbocharger wastegate malfunctions in a cold climate?

💡 Explanation

When the wastegate malfunctions and sticks closed in a cold climate, overboost occurs because the exhaust gases cannot bypass the turbine, leading to excessive turbine speeds and higher manifold pressure. Therefore overboost results, rather than surge, bearing failure, or intercooler issues which require other conditions or mechanisms.
