Has any one ran a non ball bearing turbo but used an oil scavenger pump?

I am betting a GT 15 is too small, and other manufacturers make ball bearing turbos. It is the lack of oil pressure that makes the BB turbo necessary. I have a small IHI going on my wife's 125 salt bike that is a ball bearing,IIRC off a Volvo or Subaru. And am using a GT 2876 on my 750.

I found a t3/t4 bb 50 ar with a surge free compressor housing that I like and fair price. I don't want to go to big yet, I'm not going inside the motor I'm leaving the comp alone for now and plan to run 5-8psi boost with bigger injectors and boost reference fpr. I'll look around for a gt28 or 30 I'm not stuck on any turbo yet

make sure to put twice as much bracing as you think you will need because the vibrations are going to be extreme with the way you have that mounted.

Yeh, I am building the main brace to mount onto the factory rubber muffler mount, that will support the main weight load of the turbo, and I and putting a secondary brace off of one of the front motor mounts.

I hope you have a Y front mount not the older single.
