If the failure is due to blown seals then repair is within the normal realm of DIY.
If the failure is due to bearing damage or turbine wheel damage it may be best to let the experts handle it.
Worst case failure mode is the impeller explodes at 80,000rpm and sends shrapnel into your intercooler, muffler, and oil system. Not common but it can happen.
