Is the IS20 a ball bearing turbo?

I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find if the IS20 is a shaft or ball bearing turbo I’ve always been curious about this, does anyone know?

Nope, journal bearing. Water cooled
Would a turbo timer even be necessary in a GTI since it’s water cooled? Cus my buddy has an evo 10 and their water cooled as well but their water pump stays active when the car shuts off to cool the turbo down, is it the same in the GTI?
