Rubbish. Turbos are designed to with stand incredible pressures and temperatures for very long periods. If back pressure was that bad you'd have long since noticed the boost cutting prematirely and cropping ypur performance.
Any DPF issue is almost certainly caused by the turbo problem, not the other way around.
The turbos on these are water cooled, so that might be related to your problem but the potential causes are too numerous to stab a guess.
Are the dealers over there like those over here, on that they give a lifetime warranty on genuine parts that they fit? If so that
might be of some comfort to your wallet if you continue to have problems down the line.
Best of luck, let us know how you get on,
