A method, system, and machine-readable storage medium for diagnosing operation in a turbocharged engine having an engine control module (ECM) operable to control engine operation in response to data received from a plurality of sensors is disclosed. In operation, the method, system, and machine-readable storage medium store data corresponding to a compressor map defining a region of compressor efficiency and compressor speeds during operation, and a turbine map defining a region of turbine efficiency and turbine speeds during operation. Next, the method, system and apparatus determine a predicted value for an operating parameter using data received from selected ones of the plurality of sensors and the data stored in memory, determine an actual value for the operating parameter using data received from selected ones of the plurality of sensors, and generate an abnormal operation signal if a difference between actual and predicted values is greater than a predetermined amount.
