I haven't looked it up for the N54
The generic symptoms (i.e. from my turbo scooby days) are oil consumption at first then power loss.
Personally, I think there are a lot of small fish to fry in the N54 like the gaskets (i.e. valve cover, oil filter, which have already been replaced on my relatively new car) before you get to the turbo, and if you keep up on the maintenance (i.e. you replaced all the gaskets over time, there are no visible leaks, you did a compression test and it was fine) and still get the oil consumption, then it's time to check on the turbo
