So...I took apart my secondary to rebuild it with a 360 thrust and severe duty bearings, and I added an SXE turbine wheel. I bought both items from SPTurboost (https://www.spturboost.com). I added oil and spun the compressor wheel to circulate prior to startup. After a few miles of test driving I opened it up a little on tune 1 and hit around 60psi. Turned it to tune three, leaned into it a little, and POP. Turbo blew and I coasted it most of the remaining 1/2mi home. When I shut the truck off it revved up on its own for a second so I know oil was getting sucked into the intake.
I sent a note to Infinite Performance inquiring a rebuild/replacement. Anyone else recommend a place to get a quote? Not sure if it was a faulty wheel that melted, or if it's because I didn't get the assembly balanced. The shaft and compressor still spin. Thoughts? And recommendations? Looking to push up to 1250hp.

And the damage to the primary turbine wheel:
