Default No power? Turbo bad?
Got in my car today n pedal went to floor n I didn't feel it pulling hard as usual. What can I do to check? What options to fix? Possible to slap bigger turbo on? What will happen if I keep driving it w a bad turbo?

Lots of things could be happening here, don't assume right away that the turbo is bad. Any CEL or codes? Any smoke from the exhaust? Are you burning/leaking oil anyplace that you can see? Auto or manual trans?

Check for codes if you can. Not all codes kick on the light. More than likely just a boost leak either DV or line.
