We've had a few documented on here. It seemed to be more common with R's.
It's quite an impressive sight when a turbo blows, possibly not for the car's occupants but certainly for passers by.
I had a turbo hose come off on a mk5 Golf on the motorway and the plume of smoke looked like a downed Spitfire in a WWII movie!
