Which symptom rapidly escalates when a turbocharger experiences oil starvation?

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge emerges because oil starvation damages turbocharger bearings, causing impeller instability. The instability disrupts airflow leading to compression instability which worsens rapidly, therefore surge increases catastrophically rather than gradual catalyst overload from long-term inefficiency.
