Even if you don't have plans to surpass 300 wheel a ball bearing turbo is a worthy investment, especially at such a low cost. It's not something you can quantify in numbers, you just have to drive a journal bearing and follow it up with a BB. BB turbos blow JBs the fuck out of the water, no contest. They just feel more natural and less robotic, not to mention they last longer. $500 is such a negligible difference in cost when force inducting a car, it's a no brainer in my opinion.
