No - but you would need to run a front mount intercooler because the top mount would not get any cooling.

The 4th gen would require cooling, but the 3rd gen is W2A so no need for the added vents. It gets very hot under the hood with a 3S-GTE, so I know some people add washers to their hood hinges to raise the hood up and let some heat out. Enderswift tells me that some of the bracing needs to be cut out of the stock hood in order to clear the intercooler as well. Other than that, it will work.
