3SGTE Help, Help a NEWB! Options

[KAOS]

How can I be sure I'm buying a 3rd gen 3SGTE engine? Is there a badge that will say "ST205" on the block or something like that?

I'm sorry I'm a total newb... I'm just guessing here: ST185 is for the 2nd GEN 3SGTE, correct? So, where on the engine would I look to ensure it was from a ST205?

the 205 wta is a bit bigger then the 185 one

gen 2 3sgte have the 8 inlet mani runners, the badge on the inlet mani saying 2000 twin entry turbo (and cermaics power also if its jdm)
gen 2 have a gay hard line comming out of the rocker cover and turning 90 deg heading away from the motor at the back (pcv line) around above the exhaust cam.
gen 2 have afm
gen 2 have the oil filter on the block next to the exhaust manifold

gen 3 have 4 runners in the inlet manifold, the plenum is a bit bigger with no badge and smoother shape.
gen 3 have one large diameter vertical hard line thats about 30mm long for pcv, also on the back of the rocker cover but its above the inlet cam.
gen 3 oil filter is next to the sump below the motor.
gen 3 wta intercooler has an extra opening that goes to the factory bov (opening next to the intercoolers inlet pipe)
gen 3 have map sensor
