Sorry to hijack this but where do people buy their coolant from and is it best to use the Toyota for life stuff.
I believe you can use non Toyota coolant but it has to have some special additive or ingredient?

Toyota stuff is best, but you can mix your own as long as you use deionised water

As far as I'm aware the thermostat was only different between Rev1/2 and Rev 3 the Rev1/2 one being smaller.
But no i believe the Turbo / NA makes no difference..Re: When bleeding the coolant system....
Yep im pretty sure even on Ebay it lists it for the Rev of the car, and states that it fits both N/A and Turbo of that Rev.

I did purchase one not from Toyota claiming to be a Rev3 thermostat it turned out to be the wrong one so ended up going to Toyota in the end anyway..
