Basically if you plan to not go with a turbo bigger than the CT20B then a gen3 may be the best bet for you. But there are a lot of other factors involved that I think have all been covered here and at mr2oc.com

There's no question that the g3 in the better swap to get. Newer, more refined, better potential from simple mods. But for some people, 225hp is fully enough, for less than half the price. Goals have to be weighed, and one should determine at what level they are willing to be satisfied with, before they spent their money and end up disappointed with their choice.
