- if your lucky the bearing will sieze and the turbo will just quit
- turning, and you just loose the boost. If your real lucky you blow a
- seal and start seeing smoke and using oil all a sudden and then you take
- it in to the garage for that problem(then they tell the turbos gone).
- Worse case scenario is when the the turbo losses oil on the hwy and
- wears the bearing out causing the vanes to wobble, hit the case,
- disentagrate, and all that metal goes INTO THE ENGINE, then you blow the
- engine!
