I can't remember where else a buddy of mine showed me, but I remember he showed me a couple of net shops that had them from like $650 to about $1000 for the mack daddy ball bearing ones.


You mean in the diff between ball bearing and non????
Take a look at the turbo he would need to make the same power as the first one he posted (as he has now mentioned the T100 was a joke) that will take ATLEAST a GT35R which is 1699 on that site, so 800 more then the one he posted at "buy it now" price. Not including shipping (cause i know youll pick on that )

And yes there is a minimal difference in the peak power made by a ball bearing turbo compared to a non ball bearing. The difference is the power "under the curve" because the ball bearing spools so much faster. The larger the turbo the more of a difference it will make that is true..
