Re: Water in turbo? (alpha_1)
I'd leave it. I would flush it out for a second(At most) of oil pressure buildup and then release the oil drail from the turbo into a pan to flush out the line. I really don't think it'll hurt anything else. Just how much water got into the Engine?

How long did you drive with water/oil mix flowing through the turbo? I trashed mine because I had to drive about 5 miles home with a blown headgasket. Check for shaft play, in and out, up and down, side to side.

You're fine. pour some oil in the feed line and let it run down. Then take some compressed air (30 psi max I'd say) and push that oil through the bearings so it drains out. Do this a couple times just to get all the old crap out of there.
But like I said, you're probably fine.
