That means nothing. please show pictures, give measurements of the wheels, etc.

Without that, we can't be of any help.

Isn't water + oil cooling a pretty good indicator of being BB on Garrett units?

No because the older t series units were journal bearing and were available with both oil and water cooling. GT35R doesn't really mean anything until we see photos of the CHRA, wheels, etc.

Plenty of Garrett Journal bearing units still use water lines. The difference is whether or not its required to use them. Even though they are optional on the journal bearing units, its best to use them to put less stress on the oil lubrication properties.

Yup. If it has water ports I use them regardless.

Mac I've been having power problems but I'll get that stuff to you asap
