*Side-note-> I was supposed to get a ST205 3SGTE front clip with E-153 tranny(recieved 5sfe b/c they said it was too hard to install a E-153)

Man..... I got my engine from toysport the other day and when I was looking at it, it did not seem like the 3rd gen 3SGTE. At first it looked good, but I obviously noticed that the intercooler was air-air not water-air, but I could be wrong. (the 3rd gen 3SGTE intercooler has a black plastic cover with small hoses going into it, right?) Plus toysport argues that the 3rd Gen 3SGTE does not have a C20 turbo and it is nonexistant.

Well, the engine I got has a CT26 and the intercooler really looked like it was air-air. But....if they gave me a ST185 WRC, I would not mind, but that also has a water-air, and I don't know what that engine looks like.

I am pretty sure they gave me a 2nd gen 3SGTE.

I am not 100% sure if I am right with this, but if someone can help me, so I can go argue with them this weekend since I also bought the GT4 hood and bumper from them and I am going to go pick that up from them.

**The hood would not do any good for me if the intercooler is air-air...right?

if the IC is air-air then no the hood wouldnt do anything... Take some pictures and we could help you out more.

edit: you could have gotten a 3rd gen, no problems from another distributer. Never, I mean never deal with toysport unless it is your last option. They will cheat, steal, and lie!
