The difference is in the engine mounts basically. A 3TGTE has the turbo oil return between the LH engine mount, and when using the original oil return pipe for the CT20 turbo, you need to use the factory steel engine mount to clear it. This in turn spaces the rubber mount further out, and therefore requires modification to the crossmember to fit (the mount need to be moved further out to the strut). In a naturally aspirtated situation, this eliminates the problem, as you simply block the oil return hole off (if you use a 3TGTE block), and use normal TA22 engine steel and rubber mounts to be a bolt in fit. Using a 13T (T18 Block), would also eliminate this problem, as it doen't have the oil return hole.
