Just wanted to add my 10 cents. Never had any work done at Crowesport, and never will. Anyway, a while ago I was selling a Legacy with a freshly rebuilt engine. One of the potential buyers took it to Crowesport to get checked. They found a few small wear issues in the suspension that were fair enough and noted some other small defects that were also valid, though a bit pedantic. But then they stated that the headgasket was probably blown. I asked the potential buyer how they tested it and they said they smelled gas in the overflow. I was pretty freaked out as the engine recently rebuilt and was crack tested, everything planed, new MLS gaskets etc. One leak down test later and ..... no issue found, missed sale. Thanks Crowesport.

Isn't the VF14 a P16 turbine housing? I have the same extractors and am planning to use VF13 & 14 turbine housings as they are supposedly both P16 and have the same size wastegates. Whereas the VF18 and up turbos have larger diameter holes under the flapper. Have 2x VF19 with 18 compressor covers and 2x 27's (still looking for 26 or 25 covers) which I want to try later. Going to use a single turb ecu to run it all though. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Any update on this? I'm in CHCH and more than happy to help out with a rebuild, replacement etc. Hope you got some money back!
