you think the egt's cooked the turbo? The turbo is made to be glowing red hot...so hot you could have a small cookout with brats on the turbine housing. I dont think EGT's cooked the turbo....maybe the seal on the turbine just needs to be replaced...but turbos dont "cook"...lol

it's not really an issue with the greddy turbo itself...rather, it was the very high EGTs from running on stock compression.. the EGTs cook the turbo..
call greddy and tell them you only have 15k on the turbo... see what they have to say..

Glad to hear she's alright...FYI, Billowing white smoke is typically an indicator of a blown head gasket and lots of blue smoke under load is more an indicator of a turbo that going. Take off your oil cap and dip your finger in there. If the oil doesn't appear milky then you're likely ok...not likely a blown HG.
