Answers:

Do you own a Salvage Vehicle? Whats your experience?

A turbo charger uses the escaping exhaust gases to pressurize the intake air. As for symptoms, a massive drop in power would be a good clue. To check it (on a cool engine) if you can, remove the tubing from the air filter end of the turbo (it should be easier to remove than the exhaust side) reach in-side and turn the turbine with your fingers, it should turn freely. All so check for holes in the tubing/piping from the turbo to the intake manifold and that the turbo waste-gate is working like it should.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Not many people realise the fantastically high temperatures that a turbo creates when active..
the quickest and surest way to reduce the life of your turbo is to drive to your destination and immediately switch off the engine.
