Precision GT35 turbo
I have recently acquiered a precision gt35 turbo non-ball bearing at a really good price. Question is, is the ball bearing that much better? Should I sell this one, and get a ball bearing one? Thank you

oh and I'm planning to make it externally wastegated.

Came with the gt35 turbo, manifold, heat shield, o2 housing, and a hks ssq bov.
He said in the auction it was a ball bearing gt35R...but the .60 A/r compressor housing told me otherwise. I still need a few more things to complete this kit though.

You dont want a GT35 non ball bearing on the 2.0. The lag is bad enough with the ball bearing, without it, its going to be really laggy and it will make for unenjoyable daily driving and a sub-par powerband.

Also, that turbo looks like it has a DSM flanged turbine housing. Are you sure that kit is for an EVO?

It sounds like you got one of the Buschur 580 turbo kits. It is internal gated and nonballbearing. The mani is flanged for any bolt-on DSM turbo. You should talk to someone a Buschur about upgrade options.
