Can I drive my car with a bad turbo?

Can I safely operate my vehicle with a malfunctioning turbocharger? I've noticed a decrease in power and a strange noise emanating from the engine compartment, suspecting a potential issue with the turbo. However, with the cost of repairs being quite significant, I'm hesitant to take it to a mechanic right away. I'm wondering if it's possible to temporarily drive my car with this issue, or if it poses a significant risk to the engine or other components? Additionally, are there any temporary measures I can take to mitigate the damage or symptoms until I can afford the necessary repairs?
