Jonahs it seems if the previous low oil pressure was documented that should give you an out on the turbo. That turbo did not do this. You would have gotten a locked up turbo from no lubrication. if turbo locked up You have a filter that filters the oil before it goes back into engine. This is just not the turbo's fault. Heck it has a stinkin alarm if the oil flow is impeded from the turbo to the engine. The GM warranty guy needs to be taken out and have his head shave at the least if he is not already balded from pulling His hair out.
I have run turbo's in the worst condition around in farming and I cannot count how many turbo's locked up and not trash engine. The same for deep well engines pumping water for 24 hours a day 6 months a year. The turbo's would fail and with the similar filter set up on Your turbo situation the engine would lose power and pour black smoke. Run all night very inefficiantly but, shut them down get a turbo out of the shop pour deisel through it with pan off and flush it over and over. Then change the oil filter on turbo and engine 3 times during the day and run the thing for 5,000 more hours before trouble. Get an attorney familiar with the magneson moss act and try to push it towards arbritation.
I agree with going with a create engine.
