Just in case anyone is interested, just figured I'd photo document the ease of a hub/bearing removal on the rear of a turbo. I started hearing a sort of woosh/whining sound as the vehicle was accelerating and it was getting faster as the car was building speed. So in case you hear that sort of noise, check your bearings, easy enough to check, lift the car up, and with your hands just spin the whole wheel/rim as fast as possible, you should hear a slight noise indicating there is an issue with the hub/bearing.

It was pretty straight forward and took some time but just as easy as any car. My car is still under warranty but the time to take to the dealer and then leave it there, then pick it up, this just made more sense for me.

How many miles did you get out of the originals? Could you feel any movement iin the bearings before you took the wheels off? Fronts too?
