← TechnologyWhich symptom rapidly escalates when a turbocharger experiences oil starvation?
A)Compressor surge and boost fluctuation✓
B)Engine knocking and pre-ignition events
C)Excessive exhaust backpressure increase rate
D)Catalytic converter gradual thermal overload
💡 Explanation
Compressor surge emerges because oil starvation damages turbocharger bearings, causing impeller instability. The instability disrupts airflow leading to compression instability which worsens rapidly, therefore surge increases catastrophically rather than gradual catalyst overload from long-term inefficiency.
