There are actually several different versions of the CT26 turbos. There are race versions, ceramic versions, twin entry, single entry, etc. I think twin entries were all on 7MGTE's while the singles were on the first 2 gens of the Celica GT4 3SGTE. Some of the MR2 turbos saw the ceramic CT26 and the later 3SGTEs had the CT20b... something along those lines. I think there are little to no differences between the 1st gen 3SGTE (ST165) CT26 and the 2nd gen 3SGTE (ST185) CT26. The power difference comes from the intercoolers, TVIS, amoungst other small things. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... but that's what I lean to.

So you're saying that you could buy a 1st gen 3sgte, upgrade intercooler, TVIS, and get about the same power as a stock third Gen?
