    Hi

    I Have 2 issues with my outback XT which I need to sort out before doing a stage 1 e-tune.

    - TGV's playing up over the last 6 months with reoccurring cel codes (P2016).
    - I also just found I have a leak somewhere around the intake gasket (driver side), getting close to +15 A/F on learning view.

    I want to do a TGV delete (Grimmspeed) and fix the leak (new gaskets?). The work to get the intake off looks to be at the limit of my mechanical abilities and would rather trust the work to a good shop.

    Any recommendations for for someone in the area (NW metro preferred)?

    Thanks!

    Are you deadset on someone doing it for you? If you have a die grinder and a couple carbide cutting bits you can do this yourself. Just letting you know thats a option..

    For the TGV delete itself I was just going to use the Grimspeed option rather than mod my own..

    It's the work getting the intake off and all the associated plumbing I didn't want to do. Having just put on a AOS and IPT turbo oil filter I have lost enough skin off my knuckles for this month.

    Looks like NF are the preferred choice - thanks for the recommendations.
