If I then gti or 2.1 it then I assume the 2.1 lpg system stays the same but gti needs redoing? I do like the 1.9 and though more ooomf would be good but I’m cool with the slow plod. I think I’m talking my self in to a corner here? What mpg do you see on a gti?

right...from my experience

yes - the LPG has a new set of injectors, but I'm told you can have the BLOS system that doesn't require imjectors. I have no clue.
The gti transformed the drive over the 2.1 on carb. I get (when I can be bothered to monitor) 22-25 mpg on the gas....equivint 40-45 price wise.

There is a face book group (isn't there always) for the gti conversion and there are several LPG users on there as well. I'm a moderator...if you are on FB let me know and I'll add you to the group if you are interested....or find us and ask to join - VW T25 GTI conversion club


regards


PS - can give you details of another converter who I have used for comparison
pps - I'm in Kent. Travelling down through Essex on Sunday if that's any help - could meet at Thurrock? You can have a look at the gti conversion?

Thanks but the wife has “the list” out. As will be working tomorrow to her disapproval. Interested in the phone number for the garage though. Thanks again
