My browser is preventing me uploading pics @ moment Joreto
but it's the original twin set up but with welded curved pipe pointing upwards that sits the turbo exhaust manifold flange

Jay, the mixer set ups that are performed here in AUS are not the older style you are referring to. Gas Research is more advanced than what I have seen in US. The guy who I am getting to do instal/tune holds current AUS fastest LPG quarter mile time using the mixer set up. 9 sec runs! What gets neglected by installers are stuff like feed line diameter; convertor capacity/number & of course proper tuning. If you can supply enough LPG, preventing lean-out, it s reliable.
Don't get me wrong
I'm not comparing it to LPI set up but, it can work if a specialist does it using current technology. Also, using primer to alleviate cold start/back fire probs; seperate oil filter between sump oil line & turbo to protect turbo seal damage. This is extent this LPG guy goes to with installations.
I just can't jusify the extra $5k needed for injection set up & Stand Alone EMS necessary bto set up injection system
Also, car needs few other important things to pass engineers cert' here along with, ext system improvement; custom ext manifold I'm chasing & stall convertor mod, in order to significantly lower turbo lag as it has auto trans. Turbo compressor size/condition needs to be looked @. This & fact I need car back on road sooner than later.
