Convert to single now.
Don't waste anymore cash.
Take advice from someone who owned and modified a TT for years.
Single works. That's why there are no sequential Subaru's built anymore.

in your opinon should i just get another vf 33? -> YES

or get vf25 - 27 combo? ->No

ive read theyre the best for flow. -> A VF26/27 combo or PE1016F/PE1018F

i just want to bolt on and be done with it. -> Then a VF33 as the VF25 has a much smaller compressor inducer and exducer than the VF33 so not a straight swap..But can be done by collaring up the inducer and obtaining the IC pipe plastic connector that is used for any other primary turbo ie VF25.

would the 25 work with the 32 or would i need to change them both out? -> Yes will work

cheers mate.

ill go with the easiest option and just replace the 33… if i can find 1.

theres more vf26s floating around at the moment… might be worth modding one to fit, how big a job is it, dollar wise?

what would i be looking to swap in as far as engine/ box goes, so i can start reading?

To use any other TT primary turbo in place of a VF33
1.Collar the inducer out to approx 60mm to match the VF33
2.Obtain the smaller exducer connecting black plastic IC pipe
