What failed and how badly?
So Initially I thought it was a cracked piston or something in the bottom end, I was in the process of stripping the engine bay down to inspect and remove the engine. I was taking the turbo off to try make removing the engine easier and found that the shaft had snapped and bearings in the turbo had blown out.
Makes so much more sense now, as wile I was driving with the horrible sound it felt like I still had compression and power up to about 2500rpm, it was the cloud of oil behind me that made me think it was the engine gone BOOM.
Currently working on porting out my TGV's - helped keep me motivated

To anyone thinking of doing this its pretty easy just time consuming. Dont waste time trying to unscrew the butterfly bolts just drill them out.

Spec's:
Comp. Wheel : 53.1 mm / 71 mm/Trim 56 (11+0 GTX Billet Wheelw/ Extend Tip)
Turbine Wheel : 55 mm / 60 mm / Trim 84 (GT3076R Turbine Wheel)
Compressor Housing Inlet OD: 3” / 76.2mm
Compressor Housing Outlet OD: 2” / 51.3 mm
Compressor Housing A/R: .60
Turbine Housing A/R : .64
With the car being my daily driver I steered away from the GTX3076 as much as i could. I know that the 3076 would have been great but once installed and on the street every day i would be cracking the shits at Hyundai Gets drivers getting me off the line HAHA . So i opted for the 3" inlet comp housing and i'm hoping this 3071 thing will spool nicely
