Nothing wrong with that! I've not heard that before either. It was to my knowledge that that buzzing/humming sound that you hear when you turn the car off was the turbo cooling down. I could be wrong though
But i've NEVER heard of replacing the Turbo. Its the WATERPUMP that is know to break before the 80k mile range because Vw made them out of plastic. So when you change your timingbelt, make sure you're going to get a METAL waterpump as a replacement. That should be done at 80k miles too. Its STRONGLY recommended to change them together.
