Question Attn: Owners of ballbearing GT42's

Hey

I'm starting to get so damn confused about my turbo charger and I want to know if it is ball bearing or not.

This is directed to those that own a GT42/R/S.

If you know for sure that your turbo is ball bearing than can you pleaseeee post up your part number.

I have been looking on the net and am finding a lot of missleading information about these turbo's.

Please help!

If it is not ball bearing GT series turbo it is not water cooled. No water fittings no BB simple.

All turbos have an oil passage. If you have a water cooled turbo you will see 4 openings; 2 oil and 2 water. Typically the oil passage has a small inlet and larger outlet, where the water passage is the same in as out.
