Did it throw any codes? Idk how they condemned the turbo for being “dirty” when it’s nearly impossible to inspect and a bore scope would most likely not get a good angle to see inside of it. Most likely boost leak from one of the intercooler hoses
That’s a tough call. Mines at 190k and I’ve replaced one at 120k and now i have another giving the flashing light. I would not try to replace them all unless the one that’s giving you the code comes out easily. Typically the head swells up around them just a tick and dirt and debris gets down in...

You shouldn’t be causing any damage. Mine too does it randomly due to a glowplug. A majority of the time this occurs, it’s either a glowplug or the glowplug module. The glowplugs are a PITA to change but not impossible. Use caution as they’re prone to breaking in the head and have to be extracted.
If you’re decent with hand tools, all the parts bolt off / bolt on. Tuners can email back and forth the required files once you buy their handheld devices.
I believe there’s a current sensor on the battery that could be bad, there’s also a fuse if I recall that can impact it. Orrrr it could be a bad ground /connection somewhere
I’d say 2k by the time you tune, block off egr and get the exhaust redone. Obliviously what brands and sources you choose can get it done at different costs and instead of blocking off egr you can unplug once tuned and save 100ish bucks but it’s all up to you
