That's a very broad topic. The idea of "bad" encompasses so many things. For example, for the motor, symptoms will vary, depending on what's bad. Is it bad timing, bad compression, bad mixture, a bad main bearing, a bad valve? And the list goes on. Turbos, when they go bad, usually just develop a bad bearing. You can leak oil or fail to achieve adequate turbocharger rpm to provide adequate boost. Then, of course, there's the turbo control system, which is complex and probably belongs under the category of bad turbo. I'd say that system fails more often than the turbo itself.
Let us know what kind of car you have, including the model year, and what your symptoms are. What diagnostic work have you done? Any recent work done on the car? Do you do your own wrenching?
