Default Turbonetics BB T76 took a dump, what next?

So I have been driving the truck for about a couple years. Not getting on it at all since it wasn't tuned for WOT. Well last month I finally got it tuned and the turbo took a dump. It was puking oil out the hot side. I have a feeling I'm going to have to buy another turbo. The compressor wheel was starting to rub on the housing so that's not good. The turbo came in the used kit I bought so I didn't really pick it, should I buy another T76 or go with something different?

Here is what the turbo is Turbo HP-76 / F1-68 .96 A/R Tang

The truck is a 2003 White Diamond Escalade ESV 3/4 drop, Turbonetics ball bearing T-75 turbo, HUGE 30"x10"x4.5" front mount intercooler, Thunder Racing 214/230 .601/.579 117 LSA Blower cam w/ Patriot dual springs, Custom home made ram air CAI, ASP underdrive pulley, 05' E-fans, custom home made 3.5" exhaust, Yank PT3200, Transgo shift kit, built tranny w/billet output shaft.
