TE, TF, TG are the same. unsure about tc's td's etc. but ofcourse the rb's are different.

Get it pressure tested. thats about it. either that or get your 3 month warranty on it if u cant be stuffed getting it pressure tested.

Dont be fooled by the black paint they will spray it with, that doesnt mean its good!

It doesnt really matter if its an auto or a manual one. if u want a manual they cut the things short and clamp then down or something. so if theres 2 lil things sticking out an inch, dont worry!
