Turbo Damage

Just after I bought 05 F250 Lariat SX4x4 the seller told me he had had a problem with the Turbo, had to be replaced because of vane failure.
Is this unusual?
Should I be concerned as were the vane ended up?
Engine sounded OK to me.

Drop down to the 6.0 section of the forum, lots of good info there and read the 6.0 tech folder.
