No way to know. Go outside and check.
You should have a 2G alternator since they are ECU controlled on the 2G.

I concure!

Whoever did the swap could have used all 1g parts in the process as well.

So if I have a 2G ECU I should theoretically have a 2G Alternator?

I tried contact the guy but I always catch him at bad times.

More than likley it is a 2g alternator. The only diffrence is the plug I think. Switching to a 1g would be a pain, he probably just used the one that was on the car.

Is there anyway to check which gen it is externally? Without having to take things apart?

Why dont you take a picture and post it?

But would it be required to be taken out first?

No. Just pop you hood and zoom in on it and take a pic. That should be enough.

Im almost 100% sure it has a 2g alternator tho.
