You disconnected the wire harness on the valve cover more then likely, or shorted out the fuel bowl heater. Check the fuse block, both in the cab and under the hood.

Turbo is irrelevant, you bumped or shorted something out doing it, but the turbo did not cause this.

You can, but make sure the glow plugs are disconnected... Otherwise you are right!

But there is NO reason to ever shoot a PSD with starter fluid.

You will not get any air in the oil changing a turbo...

Fuel pump you should be able to hear, or feel. It is mounted to the drivers side frame rail, below the drivers door. It only stays on for about one minute with the truck off then shuts down again.
