My HKS T51R KAI Turbo is not ball-bearing.

You can buy them either way. Of course the ball-bearing option being much more expensive.

Little off topic but what is the difference between the HKS T51R KAI and SPL? Is the SPL ball bearing?

HKS T04Z is the BB version of the HKS T04R, with a funky compressor inlet.

None of the 51R Kai / SPL are BB unless explicitly stated.
There are non-BB versions of the 51R Kai / SPL also.
