Which limitation commonly arises when exceeding a turbocharger's surge line?

A)Airflow reversal and compressor stall
B)Excessive turbine blade temperature
C)Bearing failure due to oil starvation
D)Intercooler efficiency drastically decreases

💡 Explanation

Surge occurs because back-pressure forces air back through the compressor. This exceeds the compressor's ability to maintain stable airflow, a phenomenon called compressor stall. Therefore airflow reverses through the turbocharger rather than providing boost, creating noise and potentially damaging the compressor wheel.
