As far as I know they are not Ball Bearing. His mate probably said it was and it was his mates dad who told him and it was his mate who once took a photo of a race car that told him. (read as 'Bullshit')

Ball bearing turbos have a swollen (fatter) looking core when the normal ones are skinnier thats an easy way to tell.
