This is the classifieds try posting in the regular forced induction forum. To answer your question though of course ball bearing is better because it improves spool time but you have to decide if the difference in spool time is worth the extra money. Good bb turbos like the garrett gt30 etc are over $1k. Most people on here run non bb and its fine for most purposes. Hope this helped

I always thought ball bearings lasted longer. You may be right though.
