Is it OK to drive with bad turbo?
I'm curious to know, is it actually advisable to drive a vehicle with a faulty turbocharger? I understand that a turbocharger is a crucial component in the engine's performance, and its malfunction could potentially lead to further damage to the vehicle. However, I've heard of some individuals suggesting that it's okay to continue driving for a short period of time until the necessary repairs can be made. So, what's the general consensus? Is it truly okay to drive with a bad turbo, or should one avoid doing so at all costs?

Can I drive my car with a bad turbo?
Can I safely operate my vehicle with a malfunctioning turbocharger? I've noticed a decrease in power and a strange noise emanating from the engine compartment, suspecting a potential issue with the turbo. However, with the cost of repairs being quite significant, I'm hesitant to take it to a mechanic right away. I'm wondering if it's possible to temporarily drive my car with this issue, or if it poses a significant risk to the engine or other components? Additionally, are there any temporary measures I can take to mitigate the damage or symptoms until I can afford the necessary repairs?
