I would say the 4th gen because its newer. Less miles than the 3rd gen and probably produce a little more power. I would have to say though the wiring might be a little trickier than the 3rd gen for the reason of it being a newer motor. As the motors get newer the more technical the wiring and everything gets. But its up to you, if you've got someone that won't mind with the 4th gen wiring and the money to get a 4th gen clip do it. Less miles more power.

3rd gen is almost plug and play, has descent amount of power and has aftermarket parts readily available where the 4th gen doesn't have anything. You cant even replace the stock DP with something else unless you do custom work.

3rd Gen IMO. Better intercooler, more parts, no ridiculous turbo mounting.

The third gen will be the first choice for most people. That said, I've wired up a number of fourth gens and personally swapped one, and I think they are great. The intake manifold design is far superior to earlier versions. The turbo setup is very reliable and makes great power (270whp at 15psi with NO TUNING). The coil on plug ignition is a sweet setup too.
