Which risk increases significantly when a turbocharger compressor vanes experience cavitation?

A)Reduced compressor pressure ratio achieved✓

B)Increased exhaust gas turbine backpressure

C)Lower intercooler heat exchanger effectiveness

D)Elevated engine oil consumption levels

💡 Explanation

Reduced pressure ratio occurs because *cavitation* introduces vapor bubbles that collapse, disrupting airflow and reducing the efficiency of momentum transfer; therefore the pressure ratio drops rather than other effects, because volume flow suffers before turbine characteristics or oil flow.
