Which outcome occurs when exhaust gas temperature exceeds the turbocharger turbine material's limit?

A)Creep deformation weakens turbine blades
B)Compressor surge increases boost pressure
C)Oil coking blocks lubrication pathways
D)Wastegate valve prematurely fails open

💡 Explanation

When exhaust gas temperature exceeds the limit, creep deformation occurs because high temperatures and stresses cause turbine blade atoms' plastic deformation over time, weakening them. Therefore creep weakens the blades, rather than surge, coking, or premature wastegate failure, which arise from compressor instability, oil degradation or mechanical wear issues.
