How to tell if a turbo is BB or JB

**EDIT: Michael from FP has definitively stated the turbo is journal bearing.
Also, thanks again to those who have chimed in. This is the reason why I've always come to evom for answers regarding my evo. I'll try to figure out how to refer to this thread on my paypal dispute.
FWIW, I've been asking for the original invoice since the day I received it:

IF he was the original purchaser we would have had no problem shooting him an invoice. The only way we don't/won't provide an invoice is if he's not our customers. We will not supply 3rd party with someone elses invoice. We would however e-mail the original person the invoice and they could do what they want with it.

But FP told me it was a BB...Sounds like total BS, sorry to hear that you got taken by another scammer. Time to take this to small claims court, there is more than enough proof here to get your money back one way or another. People like this are scum and should be banned from forums like this so he can not continue to take people for their money.

Do you not understand that I have a receipt from FP when I bought the turbo showing it's BALL BEARING.

Not really, you have been asked several times to produce an invoice and you still will not show proof of it. Go ahead and post the invoice, seems like you will just say "no I don't have to do that because I don't want to"...it also seems that you keep forgetting that you stated it had the new center cartridge and that you even verified that with FP but you were full of feces on that one when someone called you out on it on your for sale thread. So you dare to call me a moron when you can't even get your own facts straight??? Good luck trying to believe all your lies.

Lol @ FP in the thread. If the turbo is a BB, 05EOV8 really doesn't have a reason to not produce an invoice since Michael said he'd take a look at it and solve this whole issue. FP "won't send it to him", yet here's Michael ready to produce.
Not even an invoice, just an invoice number and FP will get a copy of the real invoice. Pending it exists.
Him writing up his own invoice won't mean jack because if FP doesn't have a registered sale in their system, why would they warranty something? I could cast up my own turbo with FP info on it and then make a fake invoice and have them warranty it for a replacement.
Yes. He avoided the question when it was asked originally in those text messages and now he's having to backtrack frantically.
If I'm wrong in any of this, I'll apologize to buyer and seller, but I wouldn't put money on that happening.
