That'll do by way of explanation. What would happen if the vanes got stuck in a 'high boost' position? I suppose if they weren't all evenly located then it would self destruct due to imbalance.

Would it simply rev up all on its own and go bang or would the ECU stop fuelling in this situation?

I've heard of nasty things happening like the oil seals failing and the engine burning its own oil as fuel until all it's all used up.
