If the intercooler and intake hasn't been cleaned in a couple of years that isn't bad
I would clean all the pipes and fittings from the turbo to the inlet manifold as well as wipe out the intake pipe - last couple of inches after the pipe connecting from the oil separator
then maybe monitor the last pipe going into the inlet manifold as well as the short elbow that comes out of the turbo in a month or 2
I nearly want to say that crud is normal if not cleaned for a long time
Actually the fact that you say it's dry tells me that the turbo isnt gone as the oil has had time to dry

I meant the valve clearance that you adjust on the rockers.
