Default Do turbos wear out?

Hi all.
Of course they do eventually. What are the symptoms of a worn
turbo, one that hasn't grenaded itself, but is past it's prime?

They will be noisier(whine or siren sound.) Issues making boost and sometimes oil consumption. When they grenade, you'll know! You will see lots of white and blue smoke.
