I thought I had the answer that my turbo was a journal bearing and now I keep getting miss information people telling me it's a full BB..I heard that the inducer side was BB or Journal or whatever you call it..

What is a Journal Bearing anyways??

It came out of a 97 S14 Notch top....

The ID plate is missing so I can't tell what the heck it is.

Here's the link for the pics...

S14 is journal, S15 is ball bearing. Ball bearing spools faster

Other than the ID plate how can I tell if it's a BB without having to take it apart? Are there any other numbers I should see?

Actually you're right. They're both ball bearing. My bad..
