nothing that I know of could be dine while cleaning by anyone to make a turbo seal fail.
it is possible to have enugh oil delution casued by coolant however to make that happen. it may not show up for a few days, weeks, miles after a egr cooler failer.

to remove the down pipe just unbold the clamp at the back of the turbo, also it will help to loosen the 2 15 mm nuts were the down pipe and cat meet

He took the turbo apart and checked the unison ring, etc.

I dont have a cat, and the delete pipe is welded so those two 15 mm nuts are gone

yes I uderstand what he did when he cleaned the trubo. what you are missing is unless he pulled the compresser wheel out (wich he did not) theres no way to damage the seal. been there done all that.
undo the clamp at the back of the turbo and push it to one side and look in it.

nothing needed for that turbo but the time to install it. that is the best deal going on.
IMO if I was in need that would be were money went.
