Default What was posted about a turbo with a blue backing plate

I remember reading a while back about some turbo that has a blue backing. Does anyone know what was said about them?

some turbonetics turbo's come with different colored plates to signify different center sections. I think blue is a ball bearing, and gold is a thick shaft....don't quote me on that though.

also you can just buy them and put them on any turbo, i know that too..
