Hi ,

Can someone confirm if there is a GTB2260VK that is journal bearing?
shouldnt GTB mean its ball bearing?
Ive read thru some post but everyone seems to claim its ball bearing,
and i assum the B in GTB means ball bearing...

but i believe this turbo is journal bearing, i have one for my car and it feels like a journal bearing. as ball bearings can be blowing to spin and they spin for a long time.

so is the GTB2260VKLR is the ball bearing version???

also, i noticed the hole which looks like the feed facing up. its obvious that the core needs to be clocked, but its there anything i should watch out for?
