Let's say due to high heat your turbine oil seal is leaking, your losing oil and you are 10000 ft above ground... Are you going to keep flying that aircraft until you feel like landing it?
Question: And a turbine shaft oil seal does consider to be a turbo failure right? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Funny how you avoid that question
here is another one
Turbine fins on your intake side breaks apart, metal particales get caught inside your engine's combustion chamber, scartched up your cylinder wall. $800 to repair? I seriously doubt that...
Not that I think this happens often but there is nothing that seperate betwee the turbine and the intake of your engine, pontential damage is devastating.
Overall, turbo system is more complex than a typical supercharger, components are prone to failure due to fatigue or whatever the cause is. You can not speak for everyone and say it will never fail just because you never encounter a problem with it, you are making a broad statement just as I was.
And the stuff about losing boost and keep on driving is just plain stupid... sorry to say </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I'm not avoiding your question. It's just too stupid to answer. And since when does a turbocharger "use" coolant?? Don't answer. It won't make anymore sense than the rest of your posts. I was only questioning your broad conclusions at the beginning of this exchange. The more you say the more you confirm my reason for even questioning you. Bad part is that someone here might take what you say seriously.
