Nah, no ball bearings. Didn't read anything good on them besides quicker spool. Also I read that rebuild costs were sky high, and they don't last any longer.

jeez, i always thought the .81 would be a little better suited for the VR, My turbo is a .63 A/R jounal bearing, and with only 8.0 compression shes still spooling 35-3800. either way, should be a kick in the pants! you start tearing into it yet?

Well, it's a T4 .68A/R, which I heard is equal to like a T3 .84+ A/R.
