I have searched high and low and cannot find this information:
* Is the turbo of the EVO IX MR ball-bearing or sleeved?
* Are the stock EVO IX pistons cast or forged?

 

Bump. Anyone know?

 

Other than just saying search, I'll answer. Journal bearing and cast.

 

Thanks for the information JohnBradley. I have tried searching all over the place and cannot find any articles/information on the specifications of the turbo or the engine's piston material. Do you have any links your care to share?

Thanks again.

 

Anyone have any links to more data on specifics to the turbo itself and engine components?
