I've been wondering what's involved with adding propane injection and how much of a boost it would give you.

I haven't done anything to mine so far.

This boy doesn't like to kiss and tell (per the thread title) but....

Hattie was drunk though, he probably doesn't remember.

This is the gayest thing I've ever said online. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

No significant mods to the 240d yet though. Kind of an oxymoron, I suppose.

No problem. I suppose you were too distracted in narcissising over Kamil's new pics?

Is narcissising a word? I just made that up. I would have said that over in his thread but I don't want to encourage him.

Sorry for the hijack MTU - it's a good topic for a thread, I apologize for temporarily derailing it.

Making up new words is no sin here . . . I know I shouldn't have encouraged him. I came to my senses and stopped after a couple of replies.

I brought mine back from the dead. I made a dead car run again. That's the best modification you can do on something like that.

My "mods":

Boost + egt gauges.

Boost controller (boost set to about 13.5psi but jumps to about 14.5 psi with lpg activated).

LPG injection (starts injecting at about 12.5 psi).

1 1/4 turns on the full load screw and max rpm set to about 6000 rpm.

In the near future:

Water injection, pre and post turbo.

Tuning the lpg injection to be proportional to boost.

If you like your turbo you should make that post injection only.
