Cam phaser and timing chain issues are completely avoidable using quality engine oil, and changing it on time. The phasers are so simple, the only way they really fail is from the oil passages getting fouled up with gunk. Ditto timing chains. There's nothing magical about them, they just need proper lubrication. The only thing unique to the timing chain in the turbo motor, is the motor oil is exposed to more extreme temps, and that's why quality oil and good filters are essential.
The chains are stretching. Every one of the phaser jobs I've seen has had good documented maintenance
