Your's probably isn't a residue from the water pump failure - there would be a white line of dried glycol right on the downpipe in line with pulley.
My car has experienced two bad heat exposure episodes: the water pump seal failure that I mentioned above and a popped upper rad hose aneurism on I-81, south of beautiful downtown Frackville, PA 3 or so years ago. The white crust on the turbo showed up a year or so ago.
I suspect that mine has had a very small coolant weep past the head gasket - not enough to cause a significant drop in coolant level, but enough to deliver a very small, crusty reminder on the turbo joints. Your situation may well be very similar. And it doesn't take much coolant to leave that much residue.
