Besides the nasty noise a turbo makes when it's on the way out, what else will happen

Default What does the "bad turbo noise" sound like???
my car is making a sputtering noise when i rev and i think its coming from the turbo. almost sounds like an exhaust rumble... can anybody verify this noise??? my car has over 150,000 miles... might be time for a new turbo (or car).
