Default What exactly is wet floating bearings?

ok there is ball bearing turbos, but what exactly is wet floating bearings? is it the same as ball bearing, or no? they mention this in the turbos they sell on ebay and i can't seem to search for a definition of what this is. i'd like to know, because i'm shopping around for a T3/T4e turbo i'm trying to piece together for my kit.

wet floating is just like your engines main and rod bearings. the shaft floats on a thin layer of oil and with ball bearings the shaft glides along the *****.
