    Pretty sure the first celica GT4 (st165) was a turbo gen 1.

    The small and large outlet on the back of the gen 3 heads are incorporated into one outlet. The turbo line then comes off the that coolant "manifold".
    I have one in the shed if anyone wants a pic.

    The double row spigot is easy to find, just measure (from memory it's 36mm OD and 12mm ID) then go to your trusty bearing supplies and spend $45 bucks buying a 16mm wide double row ball race.
    Standard one is 9mm wide and under $10. This is what I have used. I had to machine the bell (-8mm front, -2mm rear) and reset the fulcrum ball for the clutch fork. I also had to extend the bearing slide.

    These last 2 things were done to push the clutch plate further onto the gearbox input shaft and may not have to
    be done on the gen 1 as the flywheel is more of a rwd profile.

    Slydar can confirm this though. He has first hand experience with the gen1.
