General MR2 questions! how do I find out what generation of engine do I have?

Posted 11-30-2008 at 03:37 PM by MightyMingster
I recently bought a 1991 MR2 Turbo. however, I believe that the engine has been replace sometime before. b/c some of the parts that i have replaced after getting the car weren't 1991 parts, they were 1993 parts. How do I find out what year of the engine do I have? I know its a SW20.

Further more, I am trying to figure out rather I should get AFC, if so... which one should I go with? how about boost gauge, intake and exhaust? i want to get an intake, but not sure about exhaust. b/c i don't want to make it too loud. then a friend of mine told me that once i have an intake, i need exhaust for sure b/c of the boost may build too much with the stock exhaust. what does everyone think? if anyone has any idea or know about these things please let me know. thank you.

well as far as the engine you have to find the VIN on the block but the mk II 3rd gen motor was in 94+
