Taking into account of what activities have been exposed over the last 40yrs, you certainly want a substantial second opinion before handing over any cash.
If there are 'filings' could these originated from something else they [censored] up and are trying to recoup some dough?
That's a big nope. I asked what the issue was and they just said they don't know until it's replaced and the original inspected. I would have thought any turbo issues would present themselves in other ways, but it seems to work fine.
I might take the dump pipe off and have a look myself and see. It's been two weeks so something might have accumulated if there is an issue.

It looks an internal failure of the turbo.
There Is no way of really knowing why, we found excessive oil and metallic fragments in the down pipe from the turbo to the intercooler.
This seems to be a result of an internal failure which has then caused further damage to the turbo.
So it's the 'down pipe' not dump pipe. Maybe that makes more sense.
