They call it a piston ring and it's the same exact concept as the rings on your piston. As long as the ring is not too worn, or the ring land for that matter, your turbo shouldn't leak there.
If your guy has the option for a 'step gapped' piston ring, go that route vs a standard straight cut. It's a minor difference but also aids in keeping oil from leaking into your turbine side.
