My 2c
Could have been simply condensation within the exhaust that your buddy saw. Then again it could be something more serious.
Yes a busted water pump could cause all kinds of problems. The temp gauge never went above normal, BUT it measures water temp. BUT if you pumped out all of the water, then the sensor would be measuring the temp of the surrounding air. I honestly dont know what effect that would have on the temp sensor, but it certainly would not be as accurate.
A good compression test would indicate the cylinders are sealing properly, it would not necessarily rule out water leaking from the head gasket somewhere.
Keep in mind that the turbo is water cooled along with the engine, and it gets a hell of a lot hotter than the engine.
