Sure, if it ran lean enough to crack the turbo housing.

Default the check light will come on, I doesn't will run leaner than 2%

after that it kinda goes into limp mode
my car is like that today

I cleared the codes and the dealer said they'd
replace it under CA emissions warranty
if It has the code when they get the car

it took 4 days to come back with 17538 DTC

so I'll take it in on Monday
