XS engineering ball-bearing 16G - Is this real?

[DeathBeast]

A guy on ebay has a ball-bearing 16G listed in his mods.

-Does this turbo exist?
-Is it any good?
-Does anybody have it?
-Cost?

*The car (Try not to comment too much on how ugly/rice this car is, and keep the post about turbo)
*I tried to go to xs-enginnering.com, but it wouldn't work.

Thanx,
DeathBeast

Thanx,

Candela summed it up..A friend had one on his 99 gsx and another friend ran all over him with a 14B powered 2G. Big flashy name and advertising gimmicks but not worth the money....

-Does this turbo exist? Yes I got it when it first came out and paid a lot of $$$
-Is it any good? It's the biggest pos ever. My bearings melted on my turbo.
-Does anybody have it? It sucks get something different.
-Cost? Mine was $1300 in 99.
