My 2000 has the same kind of thing going on, they must put some kind of clearcoat in the turbo at the factory or something they used at the dealership to clean under the hood, it's just discoloring. It'll scratch right off if you try, and is nothing to worry about.

It could have been a possible o-ring leak at the fuel bowl, The stealership installed my o-ring wrong and some fuel leaked on to the block causing it to turn a brownish color.
