← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a turbocharged engine experiences wastegate actuator failure allowing pressure beyond design limits?
A)Engine knock from advanced timing
B)Compressor surge from choked airflow✓
C)Catalytic converter thermal runaway
D)Crankshaft bearing frictional seizure
💡 Explanation
Compressor surge can occur because turbocharger overspeed creates excessive pressure and flow disruptions when the wastegate fails to divert excess exhaust gasses; therefore, surge results rather than optimized combustion because backflow limits performance.
