Identify engine revision Options

[ksporry]

Guys,
two questions really.
As said in a previous post I was thinking about installing a turbo on my celica. I have a 3S-GE engine, and others here stated that should be possible if it is a healthy engine. However, I understood that there are different types of 3S-GE engines around, so I was wondering how can I find out what mine is without disassembling half the engine and comparing ports etc.? Will the version be printed/stamped somewhere, and if so, where would I find that?

Also, I was wondering if I could use a CT26 turbo. I spotted one on ebay, new, and for a decent price (currently halfway through bidding though). are there any other turbo types I could use?

Sounds like a lot of work. Am not concerned with the mechanical part of thinsg. I'm sure I can do that myself. Its the actual setting up of the fuel management and new ECU that worries me, especially since I don't have access to a rolling road.

As for teh comment on replacing my valve cover gasket, I know it looks a little damp there, but the engine is actually not leaking any oil. Oil levels have always stayed the same a slong as I had the car, and it stays looking nice and clean when i inspect through the oil topup hole.
I might change it when I get around to sourcing all the parts.
For now I may just replace the header with one that I can use a turbo with (I assume a header replacement can be used with and without turbo?), and fit an indicution kit. I might buy the turbo if I come across a good deal.
