Aren't all turbonetics turbochargers ball-bearing? Found one for sale for stupid cheap, guy says it's not ball-bearing, I don't feel like driving 3hrs to find out, and he has no pics. Blah!!!! good deals stupid people!!!

When turbonetics claims that they are "ball-bearing" cartridge, they mean a ceramic ball-bearing cartridge (old technology), not the same as Garrett's ballistic series.
