The context of the above apostrophes are mostly incorrect. They imply plural, not ownership or omission (abbrebviation).
The turbo's too small for that engine - is correct.
The turbos don't work properly - is correct
Turbo's (as in a proper noun, ie, the name of a car) exhausts are too noisy - is correct.
Turbo's were invented by the Japanese - is in fact technically correct (but would not be a common usage), because it's an abbreviation of turbochargers.
The other statements are incorrect due to the use of the apostrophes.
Also, it's punctuation, not grammar.
Thank-you.
