Looks like a mid frame precision mostly seen in 88,but looks like it has a 76 from side,talk to jose@forcedinductions.com and he can tell you exactly but I'll bet you anything it's not ball bearing,never seen 1 that was in that centersection.Hope this help.

the middle and *** end looks just like my pte-88, a real 76mm ex housing is way way smaller it will blow your mind if when you see the difference in person.. and it will fit a lot better.
