It's a regular old GT35 with journal bearings, hence no 'R'. I checked my receipts and this turbo is 4 years old now. I got it new with warranty for $899, and it's rebuildable. Yes, I'm just as impressed! In Garrett terminology the 'R' means ball bearing, no 'R' means journal bearing. The new PTE turbos are also available with either ceramic ball bearings, or with regular journal bearings for a much better price.
