maybe u can ask workshop over there to make a new adaptor flange and downpipe to fit subaru legacy vf series turbo..(legacy twin turbo...u can use the smaller one instead of the bigger one of the pair)...
pretty easy to find your place i guess....since scooby was all over the place in uk....
I've took the bumper off the car today and had a look at the turbo. Its a IHI RHF3 and uses a clamp to secure the compessor housing to the exhaust side. I recently won a RHB4 off ebay for 99p but that uses the Bolt method of securing the turbo together.
I've heard about the twin turbos off the legacy, seen as though they are a RHF family could i undo the clamp and remove the compressor with the 2 turbines and fit into my original RHF3 exhaust housing?

Which one do i need? The smaller of the 2? I'm going to email the seller and ask him to measure the outside diameter of the clamp holding the 2 housings together then i can measure mine, bit rough i know but at leats it will give me a idea.....
Does this sound like it can be done?

OK just had a chat on the phone with the seller about the turbo's The VF13 only has one actuator and looks slightly smaller. I asked him to measure roghly around where the clamp is on both turbo's
VF13 diameter around were the clamp sits is 8.5 inch/21.5cm approx
V14 diameter around were the clamp sits is 9.5 inch/23.5cm approx
I measured my rhf3 turbo and its appox 8.5inch
Both turbo's are oil and water cooled.
What do you think?
