Can't see how it could cause trouble otherwise, but water into the air intake WILL cause big trouble.

At the question, how a turbocharger should react to mechanical cleaning?, the expert Beat Stärkle gave more or less the following answer:
When in charge of the Maintenance and Operation of a power plant, one should answer the following decisive questions:
- Are both TSW (turbine side washing) and CSW (compressor side washing) functional?
- After washing, is there still a fouling layer?
- Has been the turbine blade tip rubbing?
- Can any thermal distortion or related effects be found?
- Are the nozzle rings evenly cleaned?
- How is the state of the compressor stages?
- How about the fuel oil properties, fuel oil conditioning, combustion air density and charge air humidity?

Could you ask the question in a more specific way?
What kind of water washing? Coming from where? What specific failure?
