i bought my 335i with the 30ff code and been running 21psi for a year without my turbos going out or showing signs of slowing down... 30ff was gone by replacing a coil on the 2nd day never seen it since
It can be a sign yes. I'd only say it is once you've exhausted all other options like turbo Solenoids or a leaky intake manifold, or a vac line or two that is old and cracked, or really bad wastegate that hasn't been attempted to be fixed via washers, & turning the actuator screw on the rear turbo. There is a laundry list one should go through before one says the turbos are toast when discussing a 30ff code.
No, it's a common code that usually accompanies another code. Usually in cases of misfires, boost leaks, etc. or anything that causes the car to go into limp mode.
