Stock turbo brand/type?

Hey guys,
Just bought my ms3 and I was wondering if anyone knew who supplies our turbo and some specs on it, most importantly, if it is a ball bearing or journal bearing...ect. Thanks in advance

I was talking to a guy at cp-e yesterday and he said it was made by Hitchachi warner and the only problem people have ran into is a select few smoke(white smoke out the exhaust) but I haven't noticed it yet.
