AT FL240, A FIRE BROKE OUT IN THE RGT ENG COMPARTMENT. THE PLT INDICATED THAT THE ENG TURBO-CHARGER WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE PLT SHUT DOWN THE ENG & ASKED FOR RADAR VECTORS TO JOHNSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE ARPT. THE FIRE WENT OUT AT 21,000 FT & THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THERE WAS SEVERE BUCKLING OF THE ENG FIREWALL DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT GENERATED BY THE ENG FIRE. THE TURBO-CHARGER EXHAUST CONNECTING TUBE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE TURBO/ EXHAUST TAILPIPE COUPLING, PN 78012, WAS OUT OF CENTERLINE ALIGNMENT BY 1.043 INCHES. INSTALLATION OF THIS COMPONENT WITHOUT PROPER ALIGNMENT WOULD PROHIBIT FULL DEPTH ENGAGEMENT OF THE TUBE WITH THE CONNECTING EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
