Narrative:

We were on a routine instrument training flight at aeg, talking to abq approach. As we turned inbound, they advised us of opposite direction same altitude traffic. We observed a twin pass to our right. After we reported established on the localizer, approach advised us that the previous traffic had done a 180 degree turn and was coming back at us. We looked, turned left to avoid the twin. We asked approach what was going on. They said they weren't talking to the other aircraft, and asked for its tail number. We did not have it. The other aircraft was apparently practicing ILS procedures without talking to approach. And though it is uncontrolled airspace, contact is recommended.
