I'm curious to know, is it actually advisable to drive a vehicle with a faulty turbocharger? I understand that a turbocharger is a crucial component in the engine's performance, and its malfunction could potentially lead to further damage to the vehicle. However, I've heard of some individuals suggesting that it's okay to continue driving for a short period of time until the necessary repairs can be made. So, what's the general consensus? Is it truly okay to drive with a bad turbo, or should one avoid doing so at all costs?
