only avaible in Dutch, you can translate the latest paragrafe down under in the page.http://squadra-tuning.nl/NL/techniek/JTD_tuning/JTD_turbo.htmlThe local alfa specialist tuner says on the newest engine's 2.4 and 1.6 there is a GTB serie, and he tells on his website this is a ball bearing turbo. I am indeed assuming the B stands for ballbearing, but i dont think the tuner would write this if its not.Alfa 159 2.4JTDm 210hp (not 200) from 1/2009 and newer got the Garrett Honeywell GTB2056V, he claims this is a ballbearing axle/shaft.He says also the Alfa Mito 1.6JTDm is with the newest generation turbocompressors like the GTB2056v, this Mito got a Garrett Honeywell GTB1446V.Greetz, Benjamin
