Green light, turbo working OK, orange light turbo overboosting, could be a faulty pressure sensor in the best case, or a damgaed/blown turbo or waste gate in the worst case scenario. Get it looked at sooner rather than later though, if it is overboosting then it could go bang & take the engine with it if your really unlucky.HTH Regards Rob.
