Ball Bearing Turbos

I got caught up in a conversation about ball bearing turbos with one of my friends. He was saying that B.B. turbos were the best turbo u could get. I told him that how could ball bearing turn at 100K+ RPM without melting? Whose idea is correct? ( i think he got the ball bearing turbo idea from F&F)

no, it is a better idea. some of them have ceramic bearings to withstand the heat. but the BB turbos spool way faster than standard ones.

Yes, and how else would you keep the friction down?
