    Just save the LPG for pootling about and switch to V-Power for the fun stuff and you'll (probably) be fine

    The LPG injectors fitted are the best you can get however they only capable of max 180bhp so you looking at bigger injectors and LPG ecu adjustment but either way as lpg burns hotter for a full power you are best and safer on V-power.

    Thought the 450bhp figure for the injectors was ambitious. lol I'm gonna be having words with my mate!

    it is if you drill the holes bigger and manage to set the ecu up but as lpg burns hotter than petrol to save the engine you wanna boot it on petrol and as martin said keep the lpg for normal use.The lpg is capable of going 6000rpm on a gradual speed increase tho but on full throttle after 4500rpm switches to petrol.Get the injectors cleaned and wallbro 255 fuel pump for the mapped ecu to get the best results,ideally you want blues with 3.8 reg.

    Proper Saabs have them on the right of the engine, like the Cossie.

    A few of you have said LPG runs hotter. Here's a thought, how about water/meth injection set-up to cool off inlet?
